I just want to say I love how this conversation ranged from career and heart and head into AI, continuing with the heart and head metaphor, because AI is all head, so you've got to bring the heart, to diversity issues, which are very much heart and head. Diversity is not only the right thing to do, but there's a lot of evidence out there that it creates better business results.

So I'm working with a great agency on the book, and I was creating the LLC as a place to put revenues from the book, consulting revenues, things like that. And I was working on what to name it. And I, of course, being very head oriented, was thinking of things like. sepentia, which is Latin for wisdom. And the agency was like, no, nobody knows what that means. They both know what you're doing.

It makes no sense. And I'm like, okay, so I want to think about wisdom because I had, I am in the latter portions of my life and I have gained a lot of wisdom over my years. And I think that's one of the things I bring in. And they said, you know what? You talk about tough love because what you're bringing is also the love that And that's where the combination Wiseheart came in.

Have you done your homework? What's the market analysis? Do we have the resources for this? And, oh, by the way, we have to get approval from 17 layers of corporate to even have a conversation about this or create a working group about this.
