I'll just tell you a story about the co-founder that I found for one of my agencies. The guy was selling to me, and that is when I was like, bro, you're actually really good at sales, you know. I think you would be a great fit with me. And that guy turned out to be one of my, you know, close friends overall, you know. He grew up— he was trying to sell to me, and I was like, I need you with me. So that is when we started to grow that particular company, and that company grows really well.
