So we actually pay them 15 minutes a day to read and encourage them to read more.

Yeah.

So it's all over the board.

You know, they'll go through periods of doing it and then they'll go through periods of not doing it.

And then, you know, at our, you know, kind of monthly town halls, I'll read excerpts of them and I'll talk about, you know, different things to try and encourage them to read, but not all of them read and not all of them stay.

Yeah.

So, I mean, donations, tips, all these things, you know, I feel like it's important as you get to any kind of successful level to keep the economy going and help people who, you know, maybe can't help themselves.

And so there's a ton of different things that we've done.

Operation Underground Railroad, they help with human trafficking victims.

Negu is actually local in Orange County, provides benefits.

Joy Jars, which are basically jars of toys to kids battling cancer.

We even took our entire team over to their headquarters and packed jars over there.

Had a great team building event there.

But, you know, I was born on Camp Pendleton.

Both my parents were Marines.

So the USO deal, you know, we got 20 soldiers that were deployed to be able to record a bedtime story for their kids back home.

You know, so just...

You know, there's people doing things to create the environment that give us the life that we have and what we can do as founders.

And I feel like it's very important to give back.

And, you know, not only in these donation things, but like tipping, you know, you will find the more you invest in the people that you see on a day to day basis.
