I will never forget that GPA with way too many credits that I should have taken. And I said, you know what? I was able to make it out of a bachelor's unscathed. I probably should give back and pay it forward to students like myself who are struggling. And so I knew that the only way to do that, in addition to obviously, you know, guest lecturing or trying to speak at schools and colleges and universities, was to get a master's and then get a PhD to be able to formally educate and teach at the academic level. Okay, great.
