Vince Talbert, who was one of the co-founders of BillMeLater, a company that got acquired by PayPal for $1 billion back in, you know, he's a Maryland guy. You know, he's been an advisor of mine since I was an entrepreneur. And, you know, to have him support and always have my back and tell me, you know, to keep going. I'm gonna shout out one of my LPs, Zach Silverman. So Zach Silverman's incredible because he loves to tell the story that he literally had the ability to make an investment in one emerging fund manager. He had enough money to make one investment. He made it in Rare Breed. He did it through his parents because he wasn't considered accredited, but his parents are. And, you know, he got me to sit down with his parents and explain to them everything when we made the investment. And I can't tell you how supportive that man has been time and time and time again. Like, he legitimately loves Rare Breed.
