One valuable thing that can come out of both of our experience of looking into the future and saying, hey, is this the route that's going to get me to where I want to go? And if you're, if you're seeing that future very clearly and it's like burning inside of you, like bad, like I don't like this, it's a pretty good sign to step away. So I'm glad that you did that for yourself in, in school, even though it's probably not something a lot of people would have told you to do. Yeah. And then same for me along my path. It was like, you know, leaving corporate, leaving my girlfriend, like traveling the world, like all these decisions down the line. I think they let you also make better decisions for yourself and then gain more self-awareness. And then where I'm at now, I'm actually really focused on the job seeker side. So what I noticed in the marketplace, not only with people that are looking for regular jobs, people that especially are looking for remote jobs don't have many resources out there. To tell them about how to find those. I do work with— I do find companies and work with companies and talk to companies that have remote roles, and I assist them when I can, and I have some services for them. But my focus is much more on the education of people looking for remote positions. And this is something that we didn't learn in school, right? We didn't learn how to do a job search. We didn't learn how to network. We didn't learn about finance. Like, there's a lot of things in school that they don't teach you, right? So everything you need. Yeah, pretty much, you know, the things that you need. But, uh, yeah, I can like do some basic trigonometry. So isn't that great?
