But when you start out, when you sell off a business and then the next year you grow even bigger, I mean, you can double, you know, in size when you're smaller.

But yeah, if you're gonna do something for like eight and a half years, you might, you know, you're huge in the beginning and then it's like, all right, 35, 50% is more you're consistent, like kind of what you average out.

So you know what?

So I love reading.

And technically, to be fair, I don't read anything anymore.

Everything's audible.

I have ADHD.

So that works much better for me.

And I love when I have free time, right?

Like it's so much easier if I'm driving or I'm catching a plane.

I've got one ear pod in my ear and I'm constantly listening to something.

So a great book is Tony, Tony Shea's delivering happiness.

Yes.

It's, it's incredible.

And it's about 15 years old, but to me, it's like one of these staples that changed my life in terms of how I looked at business and building a culture.

I was thinking Zappos, right?

I was thinking about going back to get an executive MBA just to figure out how to try to keep that same family feel that I originally had as we started scaling.

Cause I'm like, gosh, I'm like losing control.

It's getting too big.

Like how does everybody, nobody really knows me or like, you know, whereas before I used to know like their kids names, you know, what their ambitions were with the company and we'd have company events and parties.
