I, I literally just wanted a pizza and I was a software developer and so I wrote a version, one of, of a neighborhood delivery guide showed me all the restaurants delivered to me. But that's just part of the rejection of doing sales. Maybe just give us kind of the high level startup to, you know, IPO to now what you're doing.
