It's not like I don't do fly fishing.

So I already love technology.

I love to play with technology.

Most of my social friends are doing technology or AI.

So I get it in every sort of part of my life.

And so then the question is, how do you make sure that you're enabling all the folks that don't have that as sort of the same built-in default way of operating?

We spent a lot of time figuring out how do we enable kind of the front lines or the broader population of colleagues to become better and better at these tools.

And it's interesting because this is a space that is moving so fast that most people are probably fatigued, actually, by the amount that's coming at them

to try and figure out.

And in particular, if you tried something with AI a year ago or six months ago and it didn't work, you might have like written off that, well, okay, AI can't solve that particular thing where I want to review a contract or go and summarize, you know, 500 documents into a report.

You might have been like, okay, AI doesn't do that.

And actually, you know, check back in today and it does.

So the need to kind of stay current on everything that's happening is just unbelievable.

So we're doing a lot of things like some of our practices are every Friday we have an internal all hands and we'll have somebody demonstrate how they're using AI.

We're trying to make it more of a social collaborative exercise where you're demoing in front of your colleagues how you're using AI to get some particular type of work done.

We're working on more internal enablement, which would include kind of education.

We're pushing everybody to read substacks and subscribe to newsletters and listen to podcasts so they can kind of stay as current as possible.

I think about this as if you're working in technology, you know, in particular, but then probably the broader economy, certainly, you know, we're going to look at the last year and the next, let's say, two to three years as probably the most defining periods of workplace technology change that we'll ever live through.

And so it's this, you know, incredibly...

exciting, stressful, crazy time.
