of it right and learning how to be able to make that crossover and feel good about it yeah I think that's you know part of my experience you know with um just painting in general I started off painting and and I never had a journeyman I worked under I just started my painting company I had no idea you know what I was doing so as I was self-taught it actually gave me this perspective of um how not to do things cuz I would do things wrong and then it gave me a perspective how to fix the things that I did wrong and then once I fixed it then I had the perspective of how to do it right and so you know I had like three different perspectives which you know the guys I would hire you after all my years of painting you we just teach them how to do it right and they never like really experienced failing because we just said this is how you do it to have success and they right off the bat started having success and I think that's kind of one of the cool things about you know HVLP spraying now as I've been just in there I haven't had somebody looking over my shoulder saying no do this I've been experimenting learning and what are the cool things about coming here it's a simple um thing the overspray control valve I had no idea that you know I should be running it you know all the way wide open and I learned that from you and now I get to go back CU I've been doing it you know the opposite way so I'll see the effect that it has by open It Wide Open controlling the overspray by you know the machine itself the digital readout I just like to learn that way and um just to give me a different perspective and that way I can share my perspective to my audience of how you know I was attempting to learn and I think that's the value of our platform too where people can get on CU I I read you know we get thousands of comments you know every month and I read the comments and I um respond back to a lot of the comments and it's kind of a platform where we can share ideas and stuff so that's really cool no it's it's an awesome opportunity I think what uh what you guys do at paint life is is is really a great uh um it's that learning tool that you don't have uh in in the contractor business unless you're lucky enough to be able to journeyman under somebody else and or have that apprenticeship how else are you going to learn yeah and there's nobody else out really out there that I don't believe
