And I think that, you know, this is a really hard decision for many people. Sorry, please share this story I need to know, was this a your decision transition or? decision? Okay. I went to work and I didn't know that I was going to transition out. Did you know at that point exactly what you're going to do and how you were going to make money. Like you were just sure like I'm leaving. I've never heard it phrased like that, like a transition out. Right? So transition out for me, allow me to think it allowed me to do nothing. So for so much of your life, you're going to someone else's beat. And then you do that for 12 years, right up until, you know, 12th grade graduation, and then you do another four years do your undergrad and then I decided to do graduate, and then you start working. But there's a routine and there's a schedule there. Because up until that point, my life has been so structured, whether it's, you know, getting up and this may seem very small and kind of like downplayed, but starting kindergarten, right, like you're up, you know, seven o'clock in the morning to be at school, and you're playing, you're learning. And transitioning out has probably been one of the best things that I've ever done in my life, because it gave me time to reflect it gave me a break. And while I was doing my graduate work, I worked in corporate America for 12 years and transitioned out because I felt like everything that I was doing, just kind of have like, reached his max potential. And then, after I graduated, I moved down to South Florida in Miami to pursue my graduate degree. So I was born in Fort Knox, Kentucky, wow, spent some time in Germany, and was raised in upstate New York, and went to school in upstate New York as well. Yeah, both my parents were in the military.
