And some people do that remotely.

Some people actually, if you're in the office, you usually come into the main conference room and everyone's there in the room together, which is kind of fun.

London, for some reason, always seems to all be in the boardroom.

New York is a little bit more remote.

Washington's kind of in between.

And smaller offices around the world do what they do.

Now, that's the way we used to do it, principally.

That is still true.

But in addition to that, we now have a significant number of internal chats.

Some are, there are regular, you know, sort of on online chats that, you know, real time chats and some that are more sensitive.

our smaller group.

And I would say that those now, especially for things that are happening real time, so the Trump Xi Jinping summit during the last few days of preparations and while it's going on, or today with a potential for a new agreement

on again, off again, between the Americans and the Iranians on the Strait of Hormuz that the Saudis are talking about.

There is real-time information and what does this mean coming from relevant analysts all over the world.

I'd feel like I was missing an arm.

I wouldn't know how to go into a top level meeting today without, especially in a heavy news cycle day, without for five minutes, 10 minutes before that meeting, dipping into the chats and making sure I am current on everything happening around the most relevant issues.

By the way, it's very similar to the way the National Intelligence Council in the United States used to be set up.

And I have had many people come to me, like the prime minister of New Zealand, for example.

I've had the foreign minister of Canada, for example.
