Wow.

I will always remember that day 'cause it was, it was the day I finally took, like, a chance on myself even though I had no idea, no direction really.

It was just like the idea of, "Hey, let's just start this business.

We don't know where it's gonna go." And in doing s- so, it actually gave me confidence very l- little bits at a time.

It started teaching me through the hard lessons that we all kinda go through.

And, uh, about a year later we actually split as partners with, uh, the, the partner I'd started it with, and it turned into just me doing painting 'cause it was what I knew, but also what I loved because I'd always kinda had a artistic side to how I was raised and just who I am.

And to transform a place through painting was just, I think, why I just got really good at painting, 'cause I got obsessive.

Like, did you just wake up one day? I think I know the answer, but I want the listeners to know where you're like, "Dude, I gotta, like, take this serious and try and, like, build a business a little bit beyond myself now."
