Well, yeah. And that's the whole thing, too. Right. Your employees are going to lose. Right. If you're not profitable and you're unable to grow and you're unable to raise their wages. Right. Yeah. You just stay in one place. Right. And nobody wants to do that for very long. So, yeah, all your employees are going to leave. Right. I mean, you can't help them grow.

Yeah. So all the above, um, there's events that we go to, right. Where, where, you know, people from our industry all get together and you just kind of meet and greet, talk about it. Uh, we also are in a couple associations, um, ABA, Arizona business alliance is one of them. Um, they're, is that good? Yeah. They've, they've helped us tremendously.

So they do teaching and training, you know, like leadership training, project management training, stuff like that. But getting involved with them helps us because it gets us in front of our clients on a regular basis outside of the norm, right?

Yeah.

Yeah. And they're a good group of people. And the whole point of it is so you have the unions, right? And the unions have their own training and their own things and their own groups. And non-union guys don't really have a group, right? So the ABA was created. It's AGC ABA. But they were created basically to help the non-union guys. Like, hey, let's get together. Let's talk about best practices.

Yeah, I have a funny story about that. So when I was growing up in the business, obviously I worked for my dad, but he had hired these project managers. And it was funny to watch them because – You know, it was like who could outlast who the longest, right? And I remember leaving one night.

You know, I usually stayed there until, you know, 4 o'clock and then left because I always thought it was stupid. Like why am I going to stay here even longer if I don't have any work to do? I just thought I was more efficient, right? I get my work done and get the hell out of there. Anyways, I'm on my way out one evening and there was a project manager passed out in his chair, right? Sleeping.

And I wake him up and I'm like, what are you doing, man? I'm like, go home. You're not kidding anybody. You're not just because you think you're working harder. I stayed here till eight o'clock last night. It's like. If you got that work done half the time.
