And it makes it very, very easy to ship software. Everybody thinks the same way. So I think the leadership principles were a reflection of Jeff from the early days and his executive team. And a lot of that is funneled into like the way Amazon behaves and builds products.

So that's number one, have a strong set of, you know, like, like for example, you have a company, so you should have like a list of tenants for your team. This is how Rudy thinks. This is what made me successful. And I want all of you to behave like this. And you will even recruit people who will sort of show those skills. That's number one.

The other one that I think you mentioned, Kajabi's secret sauce is its community. There are raving fans who gather together to talk about Kajabi and how to use the product and how to make your first sale, how to build your first email list, etc. And Kajabi pays a lot of attention to that community.

So any entrepreneur, if they want to be successful in selling products or services or their own time, they have to build a community. Without community, nothing exists today.

And Perry and the founders, they're like, well, we don't believe in traditional venture capital funding, so we're going to do this other thing. And so think outside the box. You don't have to pattern match because every other leader or executive or company is doing the same thing. And resist against pattern matching and do something which is creative. So I would say...
