Why uh why is that your Twitter handle?

Because I'm all about a different type of entrepreneurship, I guess. Talk to Sam a little bit about it, but um I think you can gain a lot by looking up from your computer screen and and if you get out and work a little bit with your hands and see people's eyes and and uh interact with the world around you, there's a pretty big opportunity. And I'm I'm living proof of that. And a lot of people that I know Um, are on some similar journeys. So that's kinda what I pitch because not many people talk about that. A lot of people talk about the cool ideas out in San Francisco.

Um but But uh not very many people about talk about moving boxes up spiral staircases, and that's how I started uh when I was Twenty two. Okay. You're you're all you're coming out hot already with the like, you know, you pansies who are just uh you know, typing away at your computer, go do some real work. No, I I I do talk down upon that kind of kind of entrepreneurship, but mainly it's because those folks are a lot smarter than I am. So I'm uh I understand that this is not for everybody and there's a hundred ways to win. That's I mean, that's the beautiful thing about entrepreneurship. There's thousands of ways to do this stuff. So tell people in short words, what just what do you do? And then we'll we'll d ask a bunch of questions. So I'm uh in the self storage business right now.
