I love that. And there's just so Many, like, weird alignment things. And, like, Candace and I are both very spiritual, and just how we view life is very, very similar. And I think that in itself is just, like, crazy. I'm like, where have you been my whole life? Because it's so hard to explain, like, your way of living to someone that doesn't understand it. But I think for us, like, we both got out of relationships, like, the same day, and we were both in different countries and, like, had no clue that, like, you know, any of this was happening. And I get on the phone and I'm like, I'm getting divorced. She's like, I called off my engagement. I'm like, today? She's like, today? And I'm like, you're fucking kidding. Like, the same day that I decided. You decided? And, like, we weren't like, that's crazy, honestly. And then I think one of my other favorite things that's like, more funny is we both brought two pairs of sunglasses to this conference for skin butter. Okay? We did not FaceTime each other. We didn't pack together. I didn't even know she owned these pairs of glasses. She didn't know that I did. And we're there for two days, and the first day we go down to get coffee and we're wearing the exact same pair of sunglasses. And then the second day we go down to get coffee and. And we're wearing the other pair that's, like, exactly the same. And I think it's just so funny that, like, we picked not only to bring two of the exact same glasses, but also, like, wearing them at that time. Because it would be like, the first day if you wore, like, the other pair and I wore the pair. It'd been like, still like, oh, my God, I brought those too. But we were, like, on the same wavelength. It was crazy. And there's been a lot of, like, weird stuff like that. So, yeah, I just love her. I think it's so hard to find genuine people in general and even more so in our industry because everyone just, like, wants to be caddy. But I agree with you, Candace. You build so much more when you lift other people up. And something else that we have mindset wise in common is we are such givers. And with our time, with our money, with our affection, like, I feel like it's just the universal language of abundance. Like, the more you give back, the more you get. And if you have a lack mindset and you're trying to gatekeep and you're just, like, scared of, like, helping other people, like, that literally blocks your flow, and you're really just hurting yourself. You're not protecting yourself or doing anything good for yourself. And both of us have gone from having no money to having money. And it truly, for me, has always been. And I know for you, too, is the more you give, even when you have nothing, you get so much more in the long run. So you're one of the other people that I've met that is very much like that and isn't like a tit for tat person and isn't calculated and just good intentions. I think it's hard to find people that just truly have pure intentions. And, yeah, we just. We vibe. So we're gonna get into our episode Bahama trauma. So I post divorce was like, I need to be in the water. I try to be in the ocean every quarter, every three months. And I just needed some ocean healing. It's like a very healing place for me. And you guys know, like, water is like, I'm either in a bath or in a body of water, and if I don't, like, I go crazy. And so I was like, I don't have anyone to travel with. Like, all of my friends work for me now, and I need them there. And Candace and I had been talking about, like, doing something, and I've wanted to take her shark diving so bad, because that's something that I just absolutely love. And I know she's, like, psychotic like me and will do it, and there's not many people that would say yes to that. And I'm like, she's gonna do it. She'll. So we planned this Bahamas trip, and the thing is about dive hotels and diving in general is it's not glitz and glamour. It is very, like, just basic bare essentials, right? And it's because when you're diving or fishing at these hotels, it's like, a really easy access to get to the spots you want to go. It's not super populated, obviously. That's why there's such good reefs and they're such good mammals and wildlife and all of that in the water, because there's not a lot of, like, tourists and people. And on top of that, too, like, legit divers, like, they don't go about that. Like, they're in the water all day, and then you just come home and you go to bed and you wake up and you get back on a boat. So it's really, like, exhausting, too. So people don't really do a lot or drink a lot or party on dive trips, because you got, it's an active. It's active. You gotta like lock in and so anyway, we stayed at some places that, you know, for us are not what we usually stay at. And it was fun, but I also think we were like a little bit bored and crashed out a bit for certain things.
