It's crazy when I think back. I guess it was about 15 years ago and it was like 5 AM, 6 AM. It's rough, it's rough. But now, like, the 4 AM go times, it, it's just such a great way to start the day where there's silence, there, there's nothing here. There's just you and the day ahead, and you get to decide what that day is going to look like. And this first hour, it's just the peace and the calm and the ability to just plan out and strategize that whole day. I wouldn't trade it.
