So like in defense tech, we were the only people, we were the first people, despite what, I love these, honestly, other podcasters, they're interviewing people who are parroting things I said 20 years ago, they don't know it.
And it's like, oh, that's so insightful.
It's like, yeah, of course it's insightful.
Carp said it 25 years ago.
And like, but it's, but so that kind of, that part is super weird.
But, and like, but, but it's, but what really happens when we see is like, it expands the market.
So like in defense tech, we would not be doing this well in just purely in government, unless there weren't 50 companies that were doing similar things because then the people are like, okay, first of all,
you view it as like off balance sheet sales resources well people are basically well it's off well now that that's the largely it's they do two things they increase the size of the market because de facto nobody wants to find it under a market where there's only one person
So like, if you're the one person, the percentage of the defense budget you can get is much smaller.
And two, they set up a comparator.
It's like, you know, you may not like the freak show.
Okay.
If like, but have you noticed the people who are serious by it?

And then three, it changes the standard.
Now, what you're seeing now is like that times 100x.
Yeah.
And it does change, like, recruiting, retention, and, like, how you build a company.
And we're always thinking, you have to think about how to, being dyslexic is a huge advantage there, because, like, you don't have a playbook, and now you need things to shift, and we're doing that.
The central thing, though, that is just cannot be developed, even if you understood the playbook, a lot of these things are, like, appear like, it's like, you know, LM code appears like pound check code, but it isn't.
