So we're going to be leaning in on research and development.
We've announced that we're hiring 600 roles this year, really across every single function.
So we're actually growing our headcount 80%, which seems to be a counter-narrative move right now.
And then we're also growing internationally.
So we've brought in some really great strategic investors from around the world, sovereign wealth funds like QIA and 2.0 and Mubadala and others.
And we're gonna be investing heavily in growth around the world.
Well, I think ultimately Whoop will either make you healthier or it will save your life.
And those are really the two areas of development for Whoop.
And as we think about coaching and alerting, those are the two areas that we're investing in.
And so we do believe that AI sitting on top of all of this data is going to be able to deliver value in those categories.
I think it's inevitable that a huge percentage of humanity will be continuously wearing a health monitor.
And it's going to make you healthier or it's going to save your life one day.
Well, we still see it on the horizon of 18 to 24 months.
You know, fortunately, we're operating cash flow positive.
We've just added $575 million to our balance sheet.
So we've got a very strong balance sheet.
And it allows us to be, I think, really thoughtful and control our destiny en route to IPO.

Wow, CrossFit. Well, CrossFit is, first of all, a great grassroots movement in the sense that it literally began as an email list. And it's amazing to think how far they were able to go with that. And then you've got the Greg Glassman racism stuff and like the craziness during Black Lives Matter. And then you've got this whole new leadership team that comes in.
By the way, around that time, we became partners with CrossFit. And I mean, I've now been building for 13 years, without question, the most dysfunctional partner we've ever worked with. And we've worked with a lot of partners. And a lot of dysfunction, I imagine, as well. A lot of different partners. And then the tragedy at this recent event. I don't know.
The whole thing is so poorly run, it's hard to even talk about it. Because it's such a missed opportunity.
