doing this for how many years?

Yeah.

Niper just hit its 10 year.

I've been in the bear since 98 cooking.

Because I'm old.

But honestly, like, I just have to tie in figuring things out when I'm actually prepping or when I'm also working on other spaces.

And sometimes I'm lucky enough, like, if my team, I can, like, put some recipes with them.

That's how I feel about it.

And so the reason that I ask is because I'd like to parallel what were your intentions going into Nightbird? How did you see that impacting your life personally, professionally? And then how has that been influenced over the last several years into how you approach the next thing? Is it about more money? Is it about more freedom? Is it about more autonomy? What is it about?

Oh, it's more freedom for sure.

I think that I'm happy.

I don't need to be a billionaire.

I want to make sure that I can be happy in my house with my partner, our dog, not ever be worried about rent in the space or paying any of my bills for my staff or farmers.

But I want to see growth so I can evolve as a person.

I could sit here and keep doing menus and be excited, but...

How do you maintain the commitment to your values and your morals and to sustainability, which I would define sustainability as... your sourcing, but also how you're treating your employees and also the fact that like you're in this to make money yourself.
