You know, some people got to pay their rent. Some people got to pay their staff. Some people just paid an electric bill or background. Some people just bought a dinner for themselves to feel a little bit good.
But it helped a lot of people. And we were getting, you know, praises from some businesses, like “my checking account and just went overdraft. And I put in, this is what, you know, it came at the perfect time. I got to put it in, so even my account back out, um, you know, and that's what it was all about. It was all about using my business, you know, RAD for the force of good, that was at the end of the day, what it was for. Marshall Atkinson: And that's got to make you super happy. I'm just, I'm just happy listening to it. Jarrod Hennis Yeah. It's, you know, it's, it's, uh, every time there's a negative email or a negative response to us at every day, I just go back to my staff and I was like, you guys, we did such a huge thing in Rockford. Don't let that one email that one person ruins for you because this is massive. Like how many businesses in the city donate over $100,000 in a year? You know, we just did it in two and a half months. On top of that, we donate 1% of all of our gross sales to an environmental nonprofit. So we were, you know, we're donating to two things, two businesses and two nonprofits. So that was kind of a cool thing too, was that customers supported their business, but also supporting the environment without them knowing it. Marshall Atkinson Well, you should market that. Jarrod Hennis Yeah. I mean, we were, but it's, you know, it's, it's back to the, it's hard to get everyone to read and listen to what we're talking about. Marshall Atkinson Ain't that the truth. All right. Cool. So thanks so much, Jarrod. I appreciate hearing about the success that you've had on the podcast. It was really fun digging into how everything worked and I love just hearing that whole story and I just think it's awesome. So great job. Huge shout out to your team for totally kicking butt too!
