You should see all the ladies that got to see my shoes. I spent a lot of money on these. So they want you to show when you come out, you actually come out to your theme song. So your song is playing as you're coming out. Some people walk, some people dance. Yeah. Do all kinds of things. Right. And then I give you an award for your past accomplishments. Right. So, you know, if it's real estate, I give you the real estate award, whatever it is. And I do that for two reasons. Number one is to recognize you for what you've done in the past. And number two is to give you even more credibility with the crowd now as an award winner. And then. And then you have the clips of the videos and everything to put on your website. This is, again, this is one of the smartest, most intelligent, most thought provoking ideas that I've heard you. You're creating a conference, right? Through ads. And do you sell the tickets to the show? No. Or it's free. It's free for people to show up, but then we have a VIP where you can pay more if you want to be able to get into the room with people that you can ask you. So you can actually ask them questions or what. Because I think it's. It's a tragedy to give a great speech about something and people can't get anything more. Yeah. So. So for people that come to me and don't have it, we make sure we create one for them before they speak on the stage.
