And we try to optimize to our best performers, best performers.

Your A players want free reign to just go crush it, but they don't want to be distracted by unhappiness.

They don't want to be distracted by

people who are working at a role that is almost certainly going to get automated away.

And so by taking it and saying, build the culture as if we were building it today, knowing what technologies are available to us, what would we look like?

We just went to the what we would look like.

And then that forcing function made us have to get to an automated place faster.

And it would have been a lot slower had we had people that were trying to fight adoption of the technologies because they were fearful it was going to lead to their job loss.

Our core business, we bought a couple of businesses.

We have Adjust as an analytics company and Whirl as a...

CTV business.

So those two aren't integrated.

They run their own business.

So if I just went to the core business, our core advertising products are about 400 people.

So call it some very, very high percentage of all the companies EBITDA comes from the core business.

So if you then calculate the EBITDA per employee over 400,

It's a really, really high number.

I think it's reaching or over 10 billion, 10 million ahead now.

So the question on can you have a team full of A players?

Not everyone can be an A player in a team.
