there was a moment, full transparency, up to $22 million in revenue. I ran the support email and I did all the payroll for my company. And by the way, I'm, I'm basically a high school dropout, so I should not be doing anything around the accounting side of the business. But I was so particular with wanting to make sure that that stuff was done right. And I feel like the minute that I started giving up those areas of responsibility, when I handed the support email over to my COO, when I handed and I hired the finance manager and the CFO and the team, it was a hard moment. But I feel like if I could test it back to one thing that was pivotal going probably from like 20 to 60 and then beyond, it was hiring people that were far smarter than me in those areas and willing to give up margin in the business and knowing that that's gonna, you know, that payroll and that cost feels heavy at first, but once it catches wind and catches steam, it pays off, it pays off.
