So you may watch a video about Bitcoin from a person that just made the most appealing video and maybe isn't the most knowledgeable on the subject. So it's like what we used to do when we used to do research is that you want to check multiple sources. getting information from one place and then trying to back check it in multiple other places.

If people did that, I think they'd be in a much better place. But unfortunately, people do see these influencers and they take it on face value. When we advertise with influencers, we really tell people to do their research on us and do the research on precious metals too.

And that's why we send them so much education because ultimately I want people to make an educated decision before they buy from us. It's important that they do that because it's a long-term relationship. I know that if someone acquires precious metals from us, they may be our client for the next 10 or 15 or 20 years.

So I want them to know that they made an educated decision, that they did their research. So it's important that people take that extra step and they take that time and they do the research on the company that we tell people, check out our reviews. Go to the BBB, go to Google, check us out.

These are all things that you need to do before you make a financial decision and not just take that influencer's sort of word for it because they could just be paid for an ad. And I've talked to influencers about promoting us, and I've asked them if they're interested in precious metals, and they've said no. And I've said, I don't want to do business with them.

I only want to work with influencers that are interested in what we do, because otherwise it's just... They're just getting paid to say it and it doesn't make sense and it doesn't ring true. So it's important even for us to work with influencers that really believe and have done their research so that if they do an ad for us, that it's credible, that it's actually something that they believe in.

And I think that's the big disconnect with influencers is sometimes they will just promote a product for money and not necessarily that they believe in it.

I think the most important thing, Vince, is when you're raising children is having a what my wife and I call is a united front in that we have the same. I think the most important thing as a person today, when you pick a partner, is you have to align on financial values and goals. So much of what happens to relationships is because people are not aligned on those things.

My wife and I had, and I think our values are so similar, even when we first met, it's because both of our families lost the majority of our wealth and had to start over. So we both have this fear that, in us of what can happen when you're not diversified. Both of our families were not diversified. That has led us to where we are and what we have built and what we teach our children.

And correct, I have gold and silver set aside for each of my children. Obviously the same amount because everything has to be equal. For anyone that has children, they know that this is the most important thing. I talk to them all the time about money and what things cost. And I talked to my oldest son recently about the mortgage. I explained to him what a mortgage is.
