So if you, and he plays professional volleyball, professional beach volleyball player. I'm like, if you and one of your buddies played against me and five of my friends, and I played at the college level, kind of social, but high school competitive. I'm like, if me and five of my friends played against you and one of your buddies, you'd kill us. He goes, every day. We would destroy you every day.

So I'm like, okay, so if I paid two people $200,000 a year each, or I got six people $100,000 a year each, now I got 600,000 versus 400,000. The two people would destroy the six. You hire the best people, you pay the best people, you buy the best talent, you'll destroy a bunch of B's and C's. So I need to charge more of a premium price to hire the best people, but I don't need more people.

I need the jack of all trades, master of none early stage. I need to be able to pay more or charge more with clients so I can deliver on my promises. Because if I charge more, then I can show up better. I can have a better website. I can service them better. I also believe in really blowing my employees away, having really good, happy employees. because they will take care of my customers.

That's just stupid. No, let me, let me touch on that. Go ahead. I don't think that to build a great company, you need to be innovative. My R and D stands for rip off and duplicate. I go out and find what the best companies are doing. And I just do that. I don't think I've ever been innovative. I think I've spotted the trends and I've spotted the system.
