So, for example, I built a big brand over the years. Like, we're going on Driven Event 9. And so it's a decade that I've been working on my brand. And it takes time and people want everything so fast, like they want to do it in one year. And when you've done it for 10 years, it's going to be good. And I told Neil, hey, Neil, man, you're a year younger than me and you have more money than me.
