And so I think around that, I can act as a sounding board for people and hold the complexity of the decision they're trying to make. And if I've met the person they're trying to decide about, I can sometimes give them a feel for unexpected positives and unexpected negatives that they may not have seen yet.
And when I do these gatherings, sometimes I'll have people go around and say, call me if you need help with X.
