It makes sense that your grip strength is proportionate.
I mean, you're like 25% bigger than me.
You know, basically.
So it's like you would expect it to be at least 25% stronger right there just because if you can do bodyweight pull-ups, you're going to be much stronger.
I mean, that seems there are basically two other avenues that I care about in my life.
You know, my family, I want to be a good dad.
I want to make sure my kids grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted people that, you know, like live their best lives.
And then I have a foundation that supports community solar projects around the world.
And I'd love to see that thrive.
I mean, basically, I mean, you know, we give as much as we can to solar projects around the world.
And I'd love to see that do more.
Yeah, solar.
It's basically energy access around the world.
Yeah, I think now we've given over $13 million to something like over 100 partners around the world, basically like small-scale community solar projects.
So people getting access to energy for the first time.
Basically using solar for anything ranging from light to, say, food refrigeration to pumping water.
I mean, whatever people need energy for, which is basically everything.
Yeah, some of those things are sort of like the secondary and tertiary benefits, where it's like when you empower certain kinds of communities, then they're better able to take care of their lands and things like that.
Some of that has to do with indigenous sovereignty and things like in the Ecuadorian Amazon and places where it's like when the local people have power, suddenly they can protect their land from illegal logging, illegal mining, things like that.
And so then you wind up having this knockoff like environmental benefit that's like also great in addition to the human aspect where you're like, well, these people are living better lives and to help save the planet.
