It's great to be here. Thank you.

So we're going to jump off, straight off, straight into the thing. Why did you decide to start Soaring Families and jump into this entrepreneurial world of ours?

Well, I, I guess I would say it's. It was more of a, a calling than anything else. It wasn't really about I want to start a business. I want to, you know, do all these things. But, you know, given the, the journey that we've been on and the journey that we were on in, in early days, it was, it was a big, big struggle and we learned some things along the way that kind of kept us, you know, on track. And seeing all the families who were dealing with similar struggles who weren't on track, that was the kind of eye opening experience for me that said you know, why are they not on track the way I was? And, and it was, it was more of a, well, I have things I can help them with. They don't have to go through all the hurdles and the ups and downs like we did. They'll have their own to do, but we can help them a lot.

And so that's came the idea of Soaring Families is to help families navigate this journey and help them to see that it's not all pain and suffering and sacrifice. Those are things that happen. But there's a lot more to it than that. So that was kind of the starting point and then it was finding our way through. Okay, well, how do you help them? What can you offer them? What does that look like? Is it sitting down with people? Is it providing them, you know, guidance and training and all of the above? So that's kind of where things started and it continues to evolve. I have to say. You know, we learn new things every day and it's in ways to help people and we're going to continue to do that as, as long as we can. And the film that you get from it is just, it's just truly amazing.

I want to touch on, I, I know it's somewhat of a personal story, the reason why you started Soaring Families. Could you just let us know a little bit about what the, the evolution to becoming the soaring families, why, how you became a family caregiver and what you're, what, what led to this?
