Absolutely. And I dedicated my my second book to my dad who’s passed, but he taught me so much. I remember one day I’m at the store we just finished he finished building a brand new store on Canal Street in New York. And they’re installing the, the roaster, the they, his stores all had nut roasters because they always had fresh nuts. But he’s installing the nut roaster in the front of the store venting out the window. So he cut the window. I said, Dad, why don’t you put that in the back a block in the window. He goes, watch. I’ll show you why. And he puts a batch of cashews in and he turns on the roaster 45 minutes at eight o’clock in the morning, 45 minutes later, we had a line outside the store. Wow.
