Well, don't cancel me, but I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit more about all the shows that have been canceled in TV land. All those shows that we wanted to be on, all those shows that have hundreds of people working for them. So this goes back to your contacts. What kind of contacts do you have and what are you doing with those contacts? Are you friends with those contacts? Are you colleagues with those contacts? Or are those contacts people you just email and they never ever open? Well, this is an opportunity, right? This is an opportunity to support somebody who's in the media business who not only can help you with your business, but you can actually like be a real person. A lot of the people who, um, were on these shows will get picked up by other shows, but there's a lot of people that won't either. So if you know anybody in any of these shows that have been canceled lately, like Nick Cannon, The Real, uh, Wendy Williams is going over to Sherri Shepherd, and there's a few more, and there's a ton of actual like sitcoms and, you know, Netflix shows that are not coming back as well. All those people are me— two things you can do is to reach out and be a friend. Say, hey, I heard your show got canceled, I'm so sorry about that, sending you support. Whatever it is, to reach out as like a real person. This is your opportunity to not just be a business owner, but to be a leader and to really allow the people who you want to have in your circle feel like you want to have them in their circle. There's so much going on in the world right now. So my advice this week, just be a person.
