You know, I, I'm super happy when I lay my head on the pillow or on the Amtrak seat at like 8pm of like the industry I'm in.
I don't second guess that however, when people say like the labor, you know, it's labor intensive, it's probably standard deviation more than what I was expecting when they say that in terms of the non stop, not necessarily crisis level, but there's always like something kind of going on that you want to make sure like you're on top of and handling and all that.
So it just takes an incredible amount of communication and coordination and making sure like your team is so it is as advertised. It's, it's really. Well, people are warm and friendly. I think our sales process is like a lot more friendlier than other, other industries, even within healthcare.
You know, I have like friends in med device sales and all that and that, that's a, that's a heavier climb for sure. But yeah, I'm pretty, I'm really happy, you know. Now I'm just trying to like build a team that's focused on excellence and, and yeah, for growth.

Right when either there's a photo when I was little, I saw like on, there's like in the background, honor, courage, commitment, like on my childhood wall. Like I'm not here to play. Yeah, I don't play games too much.
We're gonna work hard, we're also gonna play hard. And it may be like a different flavor than what you're used to. So like it may just not be a fit from that standpoint.
And so that's what I'm kind of going through now. But then finding like managers who have like minded mentality and can communicate with like my style, that's all I'm kind of like looking for right now. So.
