I mean, dude, I, I appreciate you sharing the story because that's such an incredible story.
And, um, you know, obviously the ability to take something like that and turn it into what it's become today, where you've been able to save so many more lives.
So the idea that you were able to turn something that was a tragic and kind of obviously very scary situation for yourself into something that can help more people is obviously awesome and appreciate you for doing that.
So one of the things I wanted to kind of dig in a little deeper there, when you were saying that there was a lot of different things going on, a lot of people with businesses, they think of themselves as like Okay, I figured out there's this problem that needs to be solved, right?

And I saw that happen over and over where cops were doing their best, but here's your tourniquet kid.
