My name is Doug Gallagher. I'm the CEO and cofounder of a company called Gallagher and Mohan and basically we need some help on a lot of different things. Reached out to Ford and he, he helped us with his with his platform. Yeah. So we were doing business development activities and the problem is I definitely didn't have the time to do it myself. What I use runway before was basically almost as an experimentation. You know, I wanted to kind of get someone who is hungry, who is motivated, but then really kind of test case, you know the. If it works or not by having them do it and then from my point of view I could see how much it works or it doesn't work. I was intrigued in the ability to, you know. Staff my team, but to do it in a cost effective way in the United States and so college students, I know there can be great talent and they're willing to work hard trying to prove themselves and that's side to side to kind of hear what you guys had to had to offer. But I think one thing I was a little skeptical, I was just like who's going to apply Like it's not like we're a you know, world renowned known company. You know not everyone knows who we are. And so I was just curious about who we would get and if it'd be the right talent we put it up there. And you got it for us, you know. And so you guys beat that, you know, skeptical nature. I had to start pretty quickly. Yeah, definitely. No, I I definitely recommend it. You know, the talent is good. You know, for sure the cut, you know, it's cost effective as you know, everybody knows when you put up something on the website, but it's not like putting up a full application and worry about like HR, you know, obligations or things like that. So it really makes it easy and fast and seamless. I think you just kind of have to figure out, you know, what's the right project for it. And where they can bring value to your team, eventually you're gonna probably start hiring people full time as well too. And it's a good way to kind of, you know, spread the word with people in their markets like the interns. You're just kind of you're almost like networking in a sense to a future, you know, class people that you could hire.
