days.

Yeah, and building these businesses.

And I look around and it's like, okay, I have a lot in common with this person now.

And no one in my local neighborhood, no one in my family, no one close to me from past relationships was doing what I was doing.

So I started connecting with them online.

And there were some forums and things that we were a part of or social media groups early on.

And then I eventually started finding them locally.

So you can have a different... choose your own adventure every time you come you know

Great idea.

So find someone in the industry.

If you don't feel like you're gonna know someone, well, there's probably someone either on your team currently or, you know, at the, at a, you know, an organization next door that, you know, you could say, "Hey, let's go to this together," and then you have at least one buddy baked in.

Um, good conferences will also have tools available to you before, at least two weeks.

In fact, we just, for FinCon, we're coming up in September, we just released the app, and I would encourage everyone who has the app already, just get in there and start, you know, finding those connections.

And if it's a good app, it sort of, A- AI can kind of tell, like, who you should probably be m- meeting at the event and making those suggestions.

Um, so tap into that and start connecting with people beforehand.

Absolutely.
