commit, you know, and I have committed to people before they even quit their jobs, the valuation will be set by someone externally at some point. Yeah. I think it's a really important lesson for any angel investors out there. I think, you know, it is easy to talk yourself out as as you say of great deals, and we we've done that at episode one, and I've done that as an angel and wanna make that mistake less going forward. I think someone said on another podcast, like, in hindsight, you'd happily overpay,
like, a 100% on your winners because if they're proper winners, they're so the returns are so outside that, like, you would have just really you wouldn't have cared whether you got in at five, ten, or twenty. The fact that you're in it is insane. So that's, yeah.
