So speaking of that, what you do now, how did that background and that thirst for learning, how did that turn you into an entrepreneur and starting a new company?

Yeah, I think a common theme of a lot of entrepreneurs I talk to is just if you have that kind of knack to always be researching or kind of picking at a thread of an idea, then... you kind of end up eventually going deep enough on something that you'll uncover that it lends itself to building a business plan.

I, from my first job out of college at Seabury, which is a consulting firm, awesome place to start your career.

Really a strong alumni network, still have a lot of friends from those days.

I was always in my spare time thinking of an idea I had and researching it or building a financial model.

I think a lot of people spend their time thinking about ideas.

Maybe the subtlety is if you want to do what I'm doing now and be an entrepreneur, I think a really good thing to do is take it to the next level.

So how do you feel about that? And are you going through a process where there's a specific target market that this only works for in terms of distance and capacity?
