And so, but I want, they know they have to give away some.
And as the business grows, they keep giving away and they have to because I believe everybody that's important to the business should have some sweat equity in it, whether it's an ESOP or it's an RSU or it's an option.
I don't care what the structure is.
depending on the state, the tax efficiency.
But that person, everybody is sitting there thinking every day about how do I keep as much of this for myself, but I know I can't be a pig.
It's a wonderful dilemma.
And we're never 70-30 by the time the business gets sold.
We're fractional by that time.
But we've created something of so much value, which is a different model than the agent model and you pay your agent 10% because they have no outcome.
You know, in Hollywood, you know, if I get a role or something or I'm on Shark Tank, somebody's making 10% of my salary for being the agent and 5% for the legals.
That's the typical Hollywood deal.
But they don't determine the outcome of the performance.
So, you know, that's the maximum they're going to get.
And those are the two kind of things.
You start off a lot more if you're going to be a founder of a business.
But if you're just a service provider, you get 10%.
And that's kind of the way America works.
Brand building is now storytelling.
That's what it is.
And I think telling a transparent, honest story about who you are, what you do, how you provide services, what matters to you and your community of customers, that stuff is the only way you can build a brand.
