It's so funny.
When I was considering it, my perception from the outside before I really started the process was Mark and Ben, they're like celebrities, semi-celebrities.
Do they really work hard?
They got all these other interests.

We are very intensely competitive.
We want to win.
And everybody works really, really hard.
No one is resting on their laurels.
We're all constantly chatting nonstop.
Late at night, we're all working hard.
We're kicking around ideas.

They were on the ascent, but there was a real latent opportunity for us to build a franchise on the growth side.
