Where did you get the brokerage to by the time you'd gone through the acquisition phase?

Yeah, um, So it was a wild journey.

So there was, after kicking the business off, there was nine acquisitions in, let's call it a two-year period.

Yep.

And that was the real purpose of going out on my own, let's call it, starting the business up.

There was an opportunity for access to capital and there was a situation in our industry where there was a... a mature business ownership situation and there was going to be opportunity for acquisitions that was within.

There was obviously some change in regulatory and things like that.

Tell us about that.
