And I think when we're growing as fast as we can, and I've got a lot of young leaders, being able to work with Southwestern Coaching has helped them grow tremendously.
So they have a third party that they can speak with openly, objectively, get coaching on different topics, people that have insights into different companies as well.
So it's been invaluable for us all to get that feedback from outside parties, get coaching for how we can improve what we're building here, because I only know what I know.
My team only knows what they know.
And we've got to extend that reach and that knowledge base to continually improve.
And so I think they certainly appreciate my team members appreciated investing in themselves and to the degree that we invested in them, you know, saw that as a major benefit to being with us.
And it gave them a lot of additional resources that I might not have been able to provide otherwise.
So I think I think they really enjoyed that process and are continuing to actually those that are still working with coaches.
And so I think it's just allowed us to grow faster and get more insights into how to do something better and more collaboration.
I mean, all around, it's just helpful.
It's immensely helpful to have a coach and mentor.
I don't think I'll do much better than that.
In all seriousness, I mean, we have so many ideas.
It really is difficult to lay them out and say what to do next and to mitigate the risk of trying something new.
And so what's exciting is knowing, hey, we have infinite ways to grow and scale this company.
But what is step one?
What is step two and three?
And how do we test it in a safe way that we're not betting the house, betting the whole company on it?
How do we test it incrementally?
Make sure it works.
