When we make recommendations to our clients and our partners, they're likely deep-rooted into strategies and tactical execution of things that we're doing every single day ourselves. That also gives us an advantage in the market in that we operate very, very lean for the size and the scale of our business, but we also have proficiency across all of our internal teams.

And that, I think, is a really important attribute because the way that technology is being leveraged, particularly AI today, is changing so quickly. And so what works for one business may not necessarily be viable for another. And without that technical aptitude or experience, you could waste time, energy, effort, and money all in the same.

And so that's an opportunity that, you know, we feel very confident when we give a recommendation or give guidance that it's sound and that it's battle tested. But yeah, there's definitely a lot of changes on the AI spectrum. And I would say that it should be a catalyst for growth.

I think the more you can understand anything, the better informed you can be and the better the opportunity is for you to help it be useful for you and what you're doing both in your professional and personal life. And so I would encourage people to lean in and start to leverage those things.
