So many things. We were talking about experience. I've been proven time and time again that hiring for experience in certain pockets where deep industry expertise matters is really, really important.

The last time I had this, like, oh my gosh, the internet, this is the way that technology is going to go. Like, there were a few of them recently, like, trying the meta-ray bands.

Like, one of the first ones I had was, it's like ShopPay, where I showed up to this website and it had all my information and I just clicked buy. And it was like, ah, that's how the internet's supposed to work. And I think that that innovation is underrated. Everyone's cloned it now, and PayPal's done it, and Stripe's done it. Everyone's built the same thing.

I think if financial fraud, which right now, at least in the US, is growing at an increasing rate, if we can have it either flat or at least growing at a decreasing rate, minimally, ideally declining, that would be huge. And I think we can very realistically do that. And I think if it's a one-tap experience to apply for a loan, that's the threshold that we have. That's the target that we have.
