How have you prepared yourself to be CEO of, you know, a high growth funded company? Well, it's interesting. When we closed our funding with Tactico, I remember the, you know, the first question I asked Liam, who's our board member, main investor, was, you know, how do I make sure that I'm not getting hosted from this company in three to five years, AKA what resources, training programs, books, articles like what should I be doing to level myself up so that I'm growing alongside the business? And he said that's the first time anyone's ever asked me that. And I don't know if it's just like a woman thing or just I may be watching too much Silicon Valley, but that's always been on my mind is, you know, you don't want the company to outpace and outgrow you. You always want to be thinking about what's next.
