So we talked about the wealth space, the percentage of private alternatives and wealth that's going to go up.
There's a whole bunch of services and technology around.
So let's say wealth tech is one.
Sports and live entertainment, we've talked about.
We talked about the sports piece.
But again, live entertainment, the one thing we learned during COVID is that people like experiences.
They value experiences more.
As you know from the younger generations, I know from my kids,
They could care less about material things.
They just want experiences.
That is a big theme for us.
And you'll continue to see us do more than that.
Those are some of the bigger ones.
First of all, my partners that run the 10 different investment platforms, they're great investors.
When we first started the firm and investment committee, I was very vocal, probably 20, 30% of the conversation, in some cases more than that.
And each year that's gone by, people just keep growing.
And again, these are great investors.
and I just less and less.
And to the point now on investment committee, I have views, but it's very rare where there's some issue or something we're thinking about or some way to create value in a particular company where through the course of all the conversation with investment committee, I can just sit there because everything that I would have said or would have asked has already been asked.
And a lot of cases asked better than I would have asked.
