You know, the free use of chalk and not having to feel guilty about it. You know, clanging of weights, lifting heavy, all that fun stuff. So one of those, one of my friends kind of turned around and said like, I want to open up like a powerlifting gym. Will you do it with me? And at the time I was kind of like, ah, like I don't know what I want to do. Like, my girlfriend lives in Missouri. So like, I'm very like back and forth. But I'm like, you should like open it up with my brother. Like, he's like very passionate about that and be very, he'd be very interested in it. So they kind of started working on that together. And then we kind of have had the idea of opening up a kind of popular change in here in Alberta. So we kind of explored the options of that. And that's kind of when they brought me on because I had some of those connections that would let us do something like that. Then after exploring the option, we're kind of like ah, like this is too much of a financial like obligation for us. We can't afford a facility of the size that they wanted at the time.
