And all of the government acronyms too, on top of all the security ones and the IT ones, it gets a very yikes. And then the food industry as a whole has a ton of them as well. So as humans, why are we doing this? Why do we, why do we do this to each other? Cause this just creates confusion. Yeah.

I mean, how do you talk to people on the plane, Mark? You're like, yeah, I work with an S-bomb company. People are like, what?

Yeah, well said, well said. And I do think that the world is kind of spinning madly round, we'll call it a song. And I think that a lot of people get stuck on, I call it the shiny, especially when you go in and do a factory tour and they walk you through the lines and it's like the VIP tour and they roll the red carpet out and you get to see all it.

And all you look at about what's coming off of the belt, kind of like those TV shows that you like inside the factory. Yeah, sure. And you're just like, ooh, look at that stuff. And I always say, stop getting stuck on the shiny. You need to start looking around it. You need to start seeing what's going on, how is it supported and put up. And that starts a lot with people in process.

So I like that you've actually handled this on a people process aspect rather than just attacking the tech. Because the tech is important to work with, but ultimately people are going to undo or make it better or make it worse or do all these things around it, manipulate it in some way. based on the processes they use at each facility. So it's not always a cookie cutter situation.

It's more of an organic kind of living situation. I think that's why supply chain management is so daunting because it's like this living organism that kind of keeps changing and adding things and removing things. And now we have new ways of moving product and we have new types of software that are coming in.

Then AI jumps in and then it's like all these things and it's just, some people are just like, whoa. And then I think to myself, how does the animal kingdom actually work, right? Like all these animals live together. I was having this conversation with my partner yesterday.

We were walking around our little lake and he said, do you think the birds talk to each other or do they talk to like the turtle or like the ducks? And I said, I don't know. I think they just acknowledge each other, right? Like they just kind of live in harmony. Like it's kind of there. I said, us humans could really take a beat on that because, you know, we should just live in harmony with it.

And that's, it kind of comes back down to that systems thinking aspect where, you know, everything's kind of in its holistic cycle and that's how the supply chain is. It's a cycle. Ultimately.

You know, I have at some point I should do some more stories because I got them on it going in and out of factories. And I'm sure you do too, Mark, when you've heard CFC things.
