So talk a little bit about like you can do full time, you can do part-time, you can, like you sai you kind of start off you listen to your clients, you beta test this, people started asking, like, talk about how you can kind of tell the people listening, you know how to start a business inch by inch during a crisis?

Great question. It was definitely granular. It wasn't immediate. It took time. I'm more like the tortoise and the hare? Why do I want to be the tortoise? So, even when I started Marcus and Millichap it took me a while to understand brokerage and sell my first deal. And, I mean, it was not easy? So that's the biggest thing, it's not gonna be easy, but, also realize that it's a marathon, it's not a sprint? I think in the age of instant, everything's going so fast. You just have to maintain your vision, and you have to maintain what you set out for your goals. So, it's definitely was a journey and it still is, we're always adapting, we just launched the podcast a few months ago. We are hiring and growing the company. I guess it's not an easy answer exists, I just have a compelling vision to keep moving forward with what I believe in and what I'm doing right and so and then bringing on the professionals and the mentors alongside you, the coaches like yourself, Jon, you're my personal coach now the masterminds that I'm in the support groups that I have all of that and the essence is growing yourself right? That's the biggest thing I think about this business entrepreneur journey if you're truly gonna go 100% all-in on yourself and your income being dependent upon a business. It will pull you in places and is a great way. But it also forced you to face some challenges and so I wouldn't have any other way right, just growing up. That's just kind of who I was at two degrees and a minor in playing college sports and in high school sports like I just have always loved the challenge. I've always loved working on teams and growing with the journey along the way with others. So hopefully that answers the question.
