We're going to move forward. We're going to find a way to be profitable even under reduced reimbursement rates or something. If the leader of your group is telling you that and making you feel that that's accurate and that you can achieve those goals, well, then, you know, that's how you succeed in the business. So I think it all comes down to good leadership, really.

Well, yeah, and almost to some extent, if you're confident in your business model and you're confident in your ability to succeed, double down, you know, invest heavily in the dip, right?

Thank you, Scott.

Thank you, Scott.

Thank you, Scott.

Well, you know, Scott, I would love to be able to just come on and talk about all the positivity that we're hopeful for. But I mean, I do think that there are pieces of positivity out there when it comes to private equity. Obviously, you know, there are there are headwinds against us. You know, I would say, you know, uncertainty is never good for us.

Any investor, it doesn't matter if you're private or public, but if there's uncertainty in the market, it's harder to predict what will come together in the future.

So it's not unlikely that somebody would say that right now we've got a pretty high level of uncertainty of where the future will go, whether it be because of tariffs or other regulatory challenges that have come up in the recent kind of Six to eight weeks or so.

The ability and desirability to be traded are those that are operating at the highest level that they possibly can and that are considered A-Assets, so to speak. So that's really where we come to our clients at. If you have the desire to be traded in the near future, you have to become as close to an A-Asset as you possibly can. Otherwise, it's going to be somewhat challenging.
