So, Seth, sort of back to you, one of the things that you said is you said your friends are like a food pyramid and the reason why all your friends can't be Pop-Tarts. Yeah, I grew up – some of your listeners may be able to relate with this. I grew up in the South and in a very conservative home, so my mom was always – super picky about my friends and who I hung out with.

I actually heard this tagline from a lot of friends, but you show me your friends and I'll show you your future. And I thought it was cool that my parents made it enough of a priority that I put good people in my life to influence me. But I actually heard that from one of those people that were influencing me.

You know, you show me your friends, I'll show you your future was sort of a good example of how even though I love to have fun, I love to laugh, I love to cut up. I've got sort of five core friends and one of those is that for me because I need that. But it's really important that I don't have five friends that are that way. I mean, it's balance. You need that in your life.

But, you know, I have my friend that I call for when I need financial advice or when I need spiritual advice or when I need advice about maybe being a better friend even to those five friends, you know, the people that strengthen me in different ways. I think that balance is key. So that's what that's about.

It was kind of the two things coming together that really became symbolic, I guess, of who Chandler and I are. I'm sort of like the artist in the family that hasn't combed his hair in years, and Chandler's killing it in the business world. So we couldn't be more different. We grew up 10 years apart.

One of the things that probably excites us the most is the opportunity that we have to inspire other people our age or that are trying to decide maybe what they want to do with their life or what they want to do if they want to change careers.
