You know, you, you come from the business, but what's, what's your career been like, and did you ever think you'd be, uh, doing what you're doing now?

No, not, not really.

So I started, uh, out as a, a nursing home administrator, and I was in, uh, fresh out of college, probably had no business being an administrator of a building at, you know, what, 22, 23 years old.

So, um, and you know, it was a CCRC, and in that moment, I, I really fell in love with the assisted living part of it.

I- it's where I started.

At my first job out, out of college was an assisted living, uh, supervisor, basically.

And so, um, I knew that one of these days I wanted to, I wanted to invest more of my time into that.

So if you, knowing what you know today, look back and could talk to that 22-year-old, or maybe the 22-year-old that's listening in to this podcast or finds it somewhere, what would you say, uh, as a word of advice, um, or, um, something encouraging to get into the industry?
