the philosophy was you go and that i think safety that people felt they weren't going to lose their job they felt like we were around and on top of that we would do monthly zoom parties We do some kind of we did categories and we did all these fun events through Zoom to keep everybody together because there was a lot of people that were either living alone or living far from family.

And they were going through it. They were going through the sadness. They were going through people dying. So we really tried to create a culture of family together. And I think COVID created that bond in a unique way for us. And I think that's a big part of the success we had is that people felt like we were there for them above and beyond them just working for us.

And Sharon and I, my wife, have always had this philosophy. And if something was going on, we called people, we checked in on people. And the clients had similar things going on. And so I think a lot of our growth... in the 2020 and today was shaped by what was going on with COVID and us being able to create this family environment for our clients and also for our employees.

And it also taught me a lot that I am responsible in so many ways to these people that work for us and I have a big responsibility to make sure that they have the things that they need, which is a retirement plan and health insurance and a safe environment for them to work and also a wage that's above

The market, we pay above market wage in every position because we can, and I think it's the right thing to do if you can do it. Those are some of the things that I learned and the company learned over the last few years that I think shaped who we are today.

I think the reason that I got into precious metals is that I had some experiences as a child. My grandfather collected silver coins. Up until 1970, our U.S. coinage actually had silver in it. So there's these coins before 1970, they call them junk silver bags. And they're bags of silver coins that have some percentage of silver in it.

Either 40 or 90% of the coin is silver, depending on the age of the coin. And I got some of these coins as a child and as a gift and learned a little bit about it that this quarter that I was receiving, even though it's a quarter on the face, it shows 25 cents. It's actually worth, at the time, it was worth 50 cents, let's say.

Those quarters today, because of the price of silver, could be worth $5 or $6. They have a face value on the money, but because there's silver in it, it's worth a lot more. And I learned that as a child.

When I decided to go into precious metals later in my life, a lot of it had to do with what happened to me in commercial real estate and that I realized that my clients in commercial real estate were business owners.

Most of them were immigrants that had come to the United States with most, I can't even tell you how many came to the United States with zero money in their pocket and had built wealth. And all of them would build the wealth and buy assets. And the asset that they would buy would be real estate.
