Yeah, I mean, we also just launched our nonprofit this year, Belong Center, to end loneliness. But I think really, you know, that's our biggest pandemic of our time, is that we are a lonely population. We, you know, the foundations of our society are pushing us to be in our, you know, alone homes, in our alone cities, in our alone offices, in our work-at-home alone spaces.

And, you know, we are less and less sort of meeting in social spaces. And so... to me, these third spaces like Daybreaker, you know, where you get to go and you get to just, like, dress up and meet people all ages. We've had Jane Goodall come to Daybreaker, you know, studying a new type of human or infant, you know, down to, you know, lots of pregnant women or little toddlers in their carriers.

And it's just, it's an intergenerational community. And I really believe that, you know, when we silo, the reason why people don't belong is I think we often silo you know, people based on age groups. You're millennials, you're Gen Zs, you're, you know, Gen X, you're a boomer.

It's when you actually mix all the groups and the humans together, when you have, you know, all these generations learning and supporting and modeling and sort of teaching each other in that way. It just makes for just a much more cohesive, rich community experience.

Yeah, and just kind of like off that, when I think about the way we built Things versus the way we built TUSHY is a very, very stark difference where I think it was like all young white women, you know, mostly. And while it was obviously a period product, so it was a certain way, but it did create a bit of a siloed experience and expression versus when TUSHY was built,

we made a very, very clear point to make it age diverse, race diverse, gender diverse, like just super, super diverse across all three race, gender, and age. And the level of cohesiveness, the ideation, the camaraderie, the respect, it's just a different, much more beautiful thing.

And so... When things are homogenous, when things are one way homogenous, it's hard to feel a sense of belonging because there's going to be competition, there's going to be jealousy.
