But ultimately, are you in the first quarter of just establishing your business and growing it and looking to get out while there's still some good things to ultimately hit some good goals along the way? Are you more towards the fourth quarter where you know you're not getting any younger and you want to slow down? I think one thing that a lot of people don't realize is that it's not cookie cutter.

There's so many flexible ways and options that you can go in terms of merging with someone or even acquiring where, Um, you know, when you, when you look at it, uh, and I, I just think of people that I work with, people can sell their company and tomorrow that's it.
