Dan Breslin: Nice nice cool. So I wanna I wanna start if we could. And I know we’ll talk about sort of your real estate experience, and and tying that into property radar, which is the company that you founded. But I thought we’d kind of go through the woods a little bit and start at the age of 14. How did you, I assume, you say professional software developer at 14? How did you manage to get paid to develop software starting at 14 years old, Sean.

Sean O’Toole: Yeah. So my Comp. Parents bought an apple 2 for their business when I was 10 years old, 1978, and I, you know, I just kinda my mom used my. My bedroom was kind of big. It was behind the garage. It was kind of big, and so she used my bedroom when I was off at school as her desk in her office and put the computer on that. And what they didn’t realize was that you know I would spend the next every day staying up till 2, 3, 4 in the morning, if going to sleep at all and playing on this computer and, you know, learn multiple languages, learned how to hack. It even had a modem so learned how to freak for the folks that are into that. And it’s it’s EHRE. A. K. Just just got super into it. And my dad’s friend had an engineering company, and they had a Mini computer that had a maximum of 16 terminals. And his business was growing. And he was having this huge problem in that he couldn’t afford a whole nother Mini computer. And he needed 2 more terminals. And I said, Well, I can write that same software or the software that you need to do the data input, and then I can take away one of your terminals. Set up 3 apple threes. Now you have your 2 more people, plus the one we’re replacing  and then connect it back in using the other terminal connection to put in the data. And so he was able to expand his business from 16 to, I think ultimately, like 40 or 50 people working, using one computer and a bunch of apple iis. And so I designed that and wrote the software forum. And then you know, wrote billing systems for another local company and other stuff and was making a lot of money bought brand new Gti. When I was 16, and bought my 1st house when I was 18, started my 1st software company when I was 18. So it just kind of kept rolling from there.
