And we sold that business to Dentsu, the global media giant, in 2019. When you sell an 8-figure business, that money is great. And that was very satisfying, obviously, to be able to support oneself and, you know, the family. But also as important, because we live in a very material world, there's nothing wrong with making a lot of money. I'm a capitalist at heart, 100%. But at the same time, I believe in sharing. My business partner at the time and I decided to take 30%. Whatever proceeds we got and distributed to our team because the team helped us get there.
