I believe, which I remember so vividly at the time. My mom, who also is a entrepreneur but was helping me with my company at the time, you know, saw it on the balance sheet. She was like, what is this chat? What are you doing? And I was like, I wrote it into a friend's company. I remember being like, what are you doing? This is crazy. And then, of course, I ended up selling those shares on the secondary market in 2019. She was like, wait. Why didn't I write why why do we write a bigger check? Exactly. That's always the things.
