And it turns them into a more successful customer that then refers friends to us.

We're a hundred percent remote.

You see, I debate that all the time, and I look at the goal as almost the same, right?

So it doesn't change my my day to day, you know, my day to day goals in terms of what I'm trying to do, like how I look at hiring, how I look at what we want to do next as a company.
