And so in many ways, naive.

I joked with you, I'm like Forrest Gump running a business.

I'm not sure what it is and who cares?

And I worked really hard and I care really deeply, but we just put weight on things that don't matter.

If a high integrity builder were to come study

this place for a year, really have access with the intent of I'm going to go spend a year studying RV and I'm going to leave and I'm going to start a platform.

What do you most wish that hypothetical person would take with them?

At the core of what I hope we leave as our legacy is thousands of people that were better at what they're doing and did more meaningful work wherever they went because they were here.

And I can't tell you the amount of emails I get from people saying, holy cow.

I did not know I was this good because now I'm not competing against everybody that is this good.

And I would have never been this good if I had not been there.

I think that's really cool.

That opportunity.

One of the great things about our country is the apprenticeship layer that exists between 20 and 30 when you leave college, which I think it's at risk right now with all this not coming to the office and everything else.

And I think in the world of new tech and technology and digital, we're one of those great apprenticeship places.

That's great.

Businesses understood the greater good.

It's not we're going to be bigger or more profitable because that ability to train people is what allows for innovation to happen and changes to happen.

How do you do that?

Like, teach me how to do that.
