You're going to make me tear up now. Um, I think this, what I'm most proud of is that I've kept going. Um, because I think for so many people starting a business, there are so many obstacles. There are so many things that you're like, oh crap, I never even thought about that. How do, what do I do with that? Um, and anybody out there who has started a business knows this. And, and it's when you're on your own as a solopreneur, it's, it's it's hard to keep going. But when you've got this group of people that you can message and be like, you know, I'm having a crappy day. Let me tell you what just happened. And, and all these people respond with, I totally get that. I've been there. Give you some ideas or give you some support. I mean, um, I think the thing that I'm most proud of is that I've kept going, but I want to kind of make it clear that I didn't do that on my own. It's with the support of a group. And so it's almost like I would even extend that to say, I'm really happy that I chose to be like, okay, I need a community to make this thing go.
