And I believe that people want to build a relationship and they want people to talk to. So it is absolutely the most important thing for us just to make sure that when they buy the metal from us, that we help them through the whole process and get it to their doorstep safely. And they feel that it's a special experience. It's a white glove experience.

So yes, on the consumer side, it is absolutely our number one focus. On the employee side, I think I was already very employee friendly, but I learned so much through COVID. I think that employees... really at Noble Gold bonded together through COVID because I had a very distinct policy, which was, you go, if somebody's sick or if you have an issue, you go and we figure out, we'll cover you.

We'll figure it out later. And we did that. And we did that no matter what. And anyone in any position, no matter if they worked in the vaults shipping metals or they were on the phone or any position, if somebody had an issue where they were sick or they had a family member that was sick,

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.
