Brothers Embark on an Entrepreneurial Journey Together

They blew up a lot of stuff. So eventually, Jared engineered a machine and figured out how to get them built, where to get them built, and got a couple machines coming over so he could test his theories. And it worked. He's right. And I'm helping with this as he's going along and just thinking, my, you know, my little brother's doing some really cool stuff. This is fun. This is the good stuff. He started franchise model. I didn't think that was really all that wise initially, but I knew not to question his judgment on something like that. So I just kind of lean in. And then March of 22nd, he came to me and he said, dean, you know, I'm not big enough to do this by myself. And we've talked through a lot of different models, models of using debt, going to venture capital. Private equity was interested. Jared's scared to death of debt. I can't pull this off by myself, he said, and I don't trust anybody else. He said, I need you to help me and buy in half the company. And for 40 years, I've been telling people that a marriage is a partnership, a partnership is a marriage, and God told you two men don't need to marry. But there's a time and a place for all things under the sun, and this is my little brother, and he needs me. So go on, go all in.
