Even though they work for Oceans, they spend every day, 40 hours a week with their client, working for their clients on various things. For the long term, the roles that we mostly fill are in operations and admin, so specialized and highly skilled virtual assistants that we call EA+, marketing roles and finance roles. We have over 300 clients who work with us.

Most of them are startups, but a lot of them are small businesses, services companies like law firms and accounting firms, doctor's offices, nonprofits, creative agencies. And for them, they may have holes in their business that they don't have enough money to hire a person in New York for $200,000 a year, but they still need the work done.

And so they come to us to hire really talented, well-educated, smart people, but at a 80% less cost than it would be to hire them in the U.S.

Yeah, that's correct. And I think it's also important to mention that a lot of people that work for us, they're getting to access... We work with some of the top e-commerce companies in the world, some of the top AI startups in the world. They're getting to access... such incredible opportunities and learn from businesses that would be completely inaccessible otherwise for them.

And I think in a way we are opening doors on both sides and that is a great business. Everybody wins and I haven't built a business before where everybody was like really happy all across the board and that's been really rewarding.

The important thing to know about me is that I am inherently skeptical. I'm something of a cynic. I think the value of being involved in the tech community to a large extent, but also in many other industries around the world. And so I have a healthy amount of skepticism when I hear the tech industry's claims about AI and things like that.

My feeling is undeniable that the technology is impressive and important. I would argue that as with most great technologies, The adoption curve is going to be much longer than people expect. If you look back toward everything from VR to autonomous vehicles, the predictions around when it would change the world were always too short. I think we are at a stage where

AI is going to be an augmentative solution for much longer than people think before it is a full solution in any part of the roles that we fill for businesses. That doesn't mean there aren't going to be specific roles that can be done fully by AI, but I suspect that it will be augmentatives for longer than people think.

Yeah, and I also think not only is the adoption curve longer than people expect, there's different types of businesses that will adopt faster than others. If I look at some of our most cutting-edge startup clients, they are already using AI in very sophisticated ways inside their businesses.
