And so now I keep my people on board and they get paid and everybody still has a job.

It's sustainable.

You know, you build, you work so hard as a company to build a team around you that does what they're supposed to do.

Digital Social Hour

Shh.

that buys in, that understands company culture, that steps in.

Everybody works together.

People are willing to help from department to department.

Nobody's stopping and saying, well, that's their department.

So in this particular case, I don't have to worry about that because everybody's still there.
