I don't remember being that easy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd say we like...
Businesses, as I mentioned before, well-moded businesses where technology can help improve the business, not disrupt the business.
So if it's the case of Skechers having a better e-commerce experience or case of Hunter Douglas having AI tie in to...
decide when the blinds should go up or down, depend on the weather and things like that.
Or with the restaurant businesses, several of the restaurant businesses are now experimenting with AI-enabled voice drive-through.
So we like types of businesses that could be improved by technology, and we and our teams embrace that.
Just not the businesses that a new technology is going to completely change and remove.
You're going to wear sneakers tomorrow, regardless of whatever technology is out there.
Maybe just to compound on Alex's answer, a few years ago, we had hired a new person to come into our restaurant brands.
And we do this annual team offsites where each of the brands goes through and talks about the plans for the next year, the big strategic projects that they're focused on and
I remember after the meeting, the person came up to me and said, look, you know, I didn't know what to expect here.
Everybody talks about you guys.
You've got a bunch of cost cutters.
There were like 800 pages of content at this offsite.
10 of them covered the costs and the other 790 were related to growth and bettering operations and opening up new restaurants.
And I think kind of on us to maybe tell our story and get the truth out there.
The other thing that I really think would surprise people here is the level of some combination of groundedness and humility that exists within this organization that starts with the co-founders and Alex and myself and our team here.
Everyone is deeply intellectually curious and wants to grow, wants to learn.
