ETA Unicorn: $1 Billion in Revenue in 5 Years

So many. So many different roadblocks. I was supposed to be on an airplane. A few hours later, I was in the emergency room and.

Missed my flight. Had to get an early flight the next day because I wasn't gonna. I wasn't gonna mess up the opportunity of a lifetime. I felt to go lead this and do this, and being there on the first day, to me was a critical moment.

I got a 5am flight out of northwest Arkansas and had to go through Dallas without an ankle. So there was a little bit of crawling. I had to find. I had to find a wheelchair.

And in the northwest Arkansas airport that early, there's no helpers. There's no one to push you. So I had to crawl around and find a wheelchair with my luggage and everything else.

And then I found a wheelchair and I had to wheel myself through this airport. It took. I was. I had to go a million miles an hour to try to get myself to miss. Not miss that flight.

Yeah, it was. It was crazy, but I got there.

The team. Yeah, the team in Arizona was probably impressed, actually, as you limped in to give your day one speech.

I hope so. Who knows? I mean, one of the guys, um, in that meeting, I finally got there, and I think it was like 11 o', clock, 11am or something. And one of the guys there, he looked like he was about to have a, you know, mental breakdown or a seizure or something. His face was completely red.

I remember seeing sweat dripping off of his face because he thought we were buying the business and we were just going to lay everybody off. And so you. Can I use that as a. A visual for searchers to understand how hard this is not.

Yeah.

On you. Yeah. I mean, if your Achilles ruptures. Yes, that sucks. But on the employees and what are they going through and are they going to start looking for a job right away and applying for other jobs and man, it was hard.
