I went to my dad's office and.
He said, I'll tell you what, I'll.
Give you this chair. Literally a chair. So I went to this beautiful office in Newport Beach. All these amazing folks. We had these really cool walls you could draw on and all this stuff, right? And there I was sitting in this old wooden chair, filing cabinets, and the soy sauce on one side, like the walls on the other. And I'm thinking, oh, my God, what's.
Happened to my life?
You know? And then I thought about it. I thought, you know what? This would be a really cool picture. My sister was helping me with my books at the time, and I said, you know what, Would you mind. Do you mind taking a picture of me? And my dad actually looked at me and goes, and he was 82 at the time. He goes, what are you gonna do with that picture? I'm gon on social media.
He said, I don't think you should do that because.
I'm not a marketing guy, but I don't think that's a real good idea. I said, no, I'm going to just share. Exactly. This is like, day one, let's do it. And he said, I really. It's your business.
But I wouldn't post that. Said. And I just. I remember posting it and him.
Him kind of just. We were rubbing his head thinking, right.
This is a bad idea. Different generation.
Different time, for sure. Yeah.
