Q Sounds fair. What do you think is the greatest thing you've taken away from running a business with him?
A I've learned a ton from him. And I think that's The thing that I've learned the most is that you can, and I've always believed this, but I really learned it here is that he has skills and, and expertise that I don't and vice versa. And when you're building a business, leveraging, you know, especially when you're a small business, leveraging everybody's skillset to the max is so important. And it, and like we talked about, it doesn't matter how old you are. It doesn't matter, you know, what your background is. You can bring something to the table. To make the business successful. And the second part is letting go. There are things that I did as a founder that I don't do anymore. And he had to talk me through not doing those things, but I'm much more open to letting go of them now, um, to him or, or to whoever else on our team needs to be doing them. But, and he, he taught, he taught me that. I learned that from him.

The other part is he definitely has run into that too. More with our, our vendors. More with the, you know, Our insurance company, our, not so much our attorney, our attorney accepted him really quickly, our accountant did, but those folks have been the ones who, who push back, well, you're not Glenn, you're not. And, and he, he acted as the GM for a while, general manager, because he, his expertise actually is not kind of like you described. His expertise is helping founder-based businesses scale. So we're doing that work at, and so he's helping me do it. Now he's, he, we found that he doesn't like, there's some of the things that I like that he doesn't like to do as far as being the CEO type of thing. And that really helped. But so We don't get, he has, he's gotten a little pushback from my first executive assistant, which we hired together and didn't work out. The second ones worked out better and they had to kind of work out the dynamic, but he and I both knew what that would look like from the first experience. So we changed the way we onboarded to make sure it didn't happen. But yeah, it does happen and, and there are people who just won't respond to him because they're not me. And, …
