Q What did you take from those learnings to then come up with the next idea, which was then sustainable?
A The next idea was really born of the ashes. So what happened was I said to my team in the Philippines, Specifically one person that, uh, was running the e-com, I said to her, everyone is always fascinated that I found some of the Philippines to fully run a business at the time is doing, I think five and a half million dollars where I was not involved in the operations. Why don't we start an agency where we find people like you? So we don't go basic level, like let's go get someone for five dollars an hour, but let's go up the talent ladder and find highly skilled people in the middle of their career. And convince them to work for smaller companies in the United States for better pay. And that, and she said, we can do that. And that was the start of my staffing business. It just was something I always liked. I got tired of hearing from my friends. They couldn't find the right talent. They were always fascinated that I could find better talent. And I just called 10 people, well, more than 10 people, but I got my first 10 customers out of my network and just pounded the phones and that's how the business started.
