I'm meeting people, sharing the journey, basically doing my life's work.

And I get to keep doing it year after year and I get to keep compounding.

Yeah.

And so I'm very passionate about what we're doing.

And if I like, I don't know, did a time machine and somehow woke up 10 years from now and someone was like, yeah, you're still running kit.

I'd be like, okay, yeah, that makes sense.

I would not be surprised at all if 10 years from now, I'm still running the exact same company.

All the equity that I've given away has been to the team.

A few team members over time have sold equity to outside investors in these secondary rounds that we've helped facilitate.

But really, I just, based on the role in the market, after them equity, invests over four years.

And then we do refresher grants.

You know, I've got people that have been on my team for...

eight years or more.

And it just really helps for team members to be deeply invested, for them to share in the upside.

And I think just for us to be totally aligned.

So actually think about compensation in four quadrants.

So if you imagine a grid, you know, a little two-by-two grid, and across the top, we've got guaranteed versus performance-based.

And then alongside, we have short-term versus long-term.

So short-term guaranteed is salary.

Long-term guaranteed is a 401k match.
