So my co founder then later came across this concept in Japan and he just loved it. So he started using it. He really liked it. He couldn't understand why you didn't have anything similar anywhere else in the world. And that's just when he called me and he was just like, yeah, maybe we should try it. In the beginning I was a bit skeptical, but after thinking about it and looking a bit into the markets, I just had to say yes to it. So he called me on a Friday. I thought about it during the weekend and Monday morning I went into my boss and I said, I'm quitting. I'm going back home to open up hair saloons. So yeah, a lot of my colleagues were laughing and a lot of people in my home country were laughing. But that's, you know, that's how it is when you start it sounds silly until the day it suddenly works.
