It's addressing something I believe is real, which is like getting an MBA in real life and AI at, you know, pennies versus taking on extreme debt and getting an MBA from a high-class university.

They think that logo is gonna get you financial opportunity in a way that I believe has passed us by.

You know, it just feels like I want to be part of things that are historically correct or,

are just a little more practical and common sense.

And then when I tell you every Fortune 5000 company is still doing guessing on the upper funnel, sponsorships, ridiculous shit, and in the lower funnel, 2016 EV testing, beta frameworks, when the mid funnel ate up the whole world, and you guys are winning, Gruins is winning, and any personal brand, and many other businesses, and so,
