And then it was when I was 21. decided to get into property so I seen a job come up and it was no experience and I'm like okay property that sounds a bit bougie that's a bit neat I sure did I know but it's been exciting but yeah I think a lot of people from like a hospitality background like you need to be a people person in property and I was working I was working ridiculous hours like 12-14 hours and now I'm back to doing the same thing but that's how I got into property and then just worked my way through a couple agents and then decided I'll let you jump in with how we met yeah so grew up kind of

Johnston Houston Paisley so we pretty yeah same it was playing football all the time that was all I wanted to do got that age where it wasn't really okay you're going to then go and play professionally so what did we do went to Johnston High and get asked to leave halfway through fifth year, we'll say, just because I was never there.

Encouraged.

I don't blame you, it's once an eye after an eye.

I'm not going to get into that with you.

But yeah, so was doing well, was like sitting all highers, but just wasn't really interested in school and wanted to kind of move on.

finished school and then it was like, oh no, what do I do? Worked for a law firm very briefly, realised, okay, I need to actually do something with my life and then got an opportunity to go to a scholarship to the States to play football.

Yeah,

Mm.

So on my way, three commercial lawyers, two accountants, meeting, you know, with banks, doing a whole business plan to know the numbers, and then that fell through.

Two weeks before I was due to present it, absolutely no-go, and I'm like, "Oh, I've just wasted all that time while trying to raise a baby, while trying to support Amy.

What, what we gonna do?" But we'd ran the numbers, and we'd knew, we'd knew, like, in our position with our costs and our overheads, all we need is X for the business to cover its own expenses.

From there, the business isn't going anywhere.

We just need to-

Mm-hmm.

Or why that is the case, as in, because you can get this from company Y, but in the long run it might cost this.
