So that was a wild journey. And I think, I mean, when you, you notice flags once you're out of a situation too, right? Like when you leave. And so it was such an incredible learning opportunity. But then while I was there, there was so many layoffs. And so it's like, I almost should have seen it coming. Right. Yeah. So they would hire and also... Project-based hiring, essentially.

And so I was always in Fremont. That's where I had to go. And, like, yeah, you'd go and he'd be on a stage and he'd be trying to motivate everybody. But I never really was involved. Like, anyone I was building... like culture or strategy with would have been just like on the HR side. He wasn't, I don't, I didn't see him.

No, I think not necessarily. Yes, some people, but no, there was no sort of theme in that way. No expectation in that way. But just like the vibe to the people we were bringing, it was like, congratulations, like you've made it.
