Marshall All right. So let's just get started with your origin story. How did you start and what is Planet Apparel all about? Holly So our origin story, I think, is really unique. It really starts from, just getting to know us. So...Heather and Holly Trevino, we're sisters and our mom is Jackie and together we are the owners of Planet Apparel. And growing up, our momwas in the dental field for 25 plus years. And she just got to a point where she knew that she really needed to change careers and, or change the direction of her path. And she basically made a decision in her mind to change. And she put it out there to the universe. And what, after every lead that she came across, she was willing to do, you know, go to the service field. She was willing to just do anything. I mean, construction, I don't know she would have done anything just to get out of the dental field because she literally said, if I have to look in one more person’s mouth I am going to lose it. And around that same time, one of her good friends was moving out of state. He had a production company and was looking to sell and her ears perked, and she just went for it. Long story short, she purchased it as the craziest thing about that story is that she had never even seen a t-shirt or anything being printed before the close of the sale. So that kind of thing speaks to her character and also about the way that we were raised. So she's a go-getter and we are also go-getters and she's really successful at running a business in San Diego and Heather and I were young and we kind of bounced it out, working for her and trying to figure out what we wanted to do with our lives. And it wasn't until about 2015 or 2014, that we actually ended up both working for at the same time. And that's when the magic...the sparks happened, where we had, we worked at the same time for Planet Apparel. And all of a sudden we sawmassive growth and, and then, you know, Heather and I were kind of putting in systems and we got so excited about what we were doing, that it made a hundred percent. Then that we would transition into a partnership. My momdidn't know that at that time, but we basically pitched her an idea and our idea was, “Hey, why don't you let us run the show, become partners with you. And our number one goal would be to retire you.” And, you know, she had, she hadn't had a full career in the dental field and then, you know, a massive career in the production realm, and it was time. We knew that. And so she took it,...she went with it and we were really excited and also just very eager to see how that would unfold. And, and to this day, she's what we call that my retirement running joke. She still works 40 hours a week. She does it in her pajamas, and for that reason, she's happy, we're happy and we're running a really successful company. Heather And, that's kind of where we started and it's a really, it really shows, you know, everyone's origin story, I think really reflects where they are now and how they came to be, and then where we're going. So we are, we're go-getters where, you know, put our mind to it and go for it kind of company for our mom.
