Thank you. It's excellent to be here, James.

I'm going to jump right into it. What made you kind of shift from, you know, the corporate 9 to 5, or you know, just the regular 9 to 5 to not being a starving artist, but probably starting off maybe somewhat starving on the movie going full on. I'm going to switch the game up. I'm not just going to be an artist. I'm going to own the gallery where I show my case my art. So now you're becoming a business owner and not an artist. What, what made you decide to go from, you know, nine to fiver to kind of like a your own corporate world leader in the art world? Which is really weird to say because artists aren't supposed to be corporate people, right?
