day one
The very start
Day one means the very beginning—the first day of an endeavor, project, or experience.
The phrase emphasizes being present or involved from the earliest possible moment: I've been with this company since day one, We had problems from day one.
It often carries pride in early involvement or suggests that something was true from the start.
