Thank you and love the show. Thanks so much, Cameron. Well, I have a lot of experience here because I've started a lot of companies that have failed.

I've started some that have been successful. And the wonderful thing about America is you only need a couple successes. And if it does really well, you're you're set for the rest of your life. Okay, so greatness is in the agency of others. I've typically until the last 10 years of my life where I had the credibility and I thought the scale to start businesses on my own, I always had a partner.
