Yeah.

I, I did what they told me I needed to do to be happy, and I still felt so insecure.

I felt like I had no idea what I was doing, and so I didn't wanna set that example for my daughter.

So I did a lot of stuff that I probably needed to do for years, like got treatment for my OCD, went through an intensive outpatient program.

Like, really started putting myself out there in ways that I thought I had to wait until I was confident to do.

... wish you would've done earlier, like you're saying, like the outpatient treatment, like anything like that?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It's like the evolution of, of what we do, private equity operations.

Yep.

So that's exactly what we're gonna go through is, hey, 20, 25 years ago, where was the state of private equity ops? It, it was really just beginning.

Um, we're also gonna talk about kind of these inflection points where private equity ops became more and more of a thing, and that would be, you know, 20, 25 years ago where we started.

The next era was right around the, uh, global financial crisis.

The next big swing, I think, was right around the post-COVID era.

And then just for funsies, just to put it officially on record, we're also gonna make some predictions on where we all think it's gonna head in the next 5 to 10 years.

Yeah.
