I mean, he's like okay, mom, let me know if you need me to go to the store to do the night runs, if you need anything, I'm looking like. But he was there, he was ready, he was there with the support, there, with a positive attitude. He also helped with bandage changing because I had a wound from a port that was put in wrongly and got infected. Who was there there? Steven, venus, donna, they were all there taking care of me.

She has three businesses running at one time and she's doing good and I will have her on for next season to talk about that the start of her journey on opening up a business that has three different components in it. So that was, that was Donna and Steven.

I did mess it up a little bit Now that I think about it because I was kind of low and Aieta was kind of loud, but she was the highlight of this whole podcast.
