But I was whiny and complained about it, and I was ready to quit. So he got on the phone. I didn't know him really. I knew of him. He knew of me, but we didn't know each other at all at the time. So he calls me and he explains his vision for the company. And all the stuff you see today, he explained on that phone call in January 2014. Household name, billion dollars. Like, he's had this vision the entire time. So he, he asked why I'm quitting. I'm like, dude, we have no leads. His answer is, yeah, I know, I run the company. I was like, well, thanks. He's like, sorry, but I do have a plan. And he gave me his plan and, you know, told me he'd work on getting me some leads, which he did. And at that time, he got me excited. And I remember, I remember committing to him because the company was nothing. It wasn't what y'all see today. This was literally like it could have been called Joe Blow's Insurance Company and we start today was what we were at that time.
