But investing with a sort of self-deception of like, well, let's just assume it's working when it's not quite working is a mistake.

There are moments when you win a deal and you are just, you're like, you know, the feeling is like sheer relief.

And I'm sure that there are moments, I haven't experienced this thankfully, when you win a deal and you're like, wow, I won it.

And you're sort of faced with uncertainty.

And I think the sort of psychology of that latter moment is very telling.

Not at all.

No.

And Mark and Ben are so special and authentic.

And look, what Ben has said many times is that they feel like it's their responsibility to extend the surface area of the entire industry.

And I see them do that every single day.

So no, there's never been even a moment at which it held me back.

In fact, it's been just the opposite.

Okay.

I mean, yeah, so it's probably the guys at CREA.

Just because, you know, they'd been so mysterious.

We'd been unable to get ahold of them for nine months.

They'd been making all this noise on X with their sort of creative tools and their models.

And, you know, there's so much anticipation meeting them.

It was Thanksgiving week.

We all sort of flew in.
