It was super hard. Um, we were growing. At one point, we were the fastest growing software company ever. And you'd wake up, and every job I had there, if I'm very transparent and honest, was my first job of that scale or size. So every day you'd wake up and it was new. And I used to tell people all the time, like, I've never done this. Uh, and there's days I'd wake up like, you know, there's no troubleshooting guide or instruction guide on how to do what's next. You just kind of did it. Yeah. And it just tells you so much about if you have the drive and desire and will, sometimes it can outperform skill because I didn't have the skills, but I figured it out. And when your back's against the wall, that's when the best of, you know, you can come out. And that's what I did every day because every day was a new day and it was bigger than anything I'd ever done.
