I fired myself as CEO of my life in 2012 because if you would have watched me and seen the jobs that I lost, the toes that I stepped on, you would have said, whoever's running that guy's life is out to destroy him. So I took a back seat. I surrounded myself with people a lot smarter, with a lot more experience. It was a new concept for me, realizing I didn't have everything figured out. And one thing just led to another. And where we're at today is, it is, it's a miracle for individuals to come up and see the farm and see the campus and see how it's, how it's grown.
