Our 37th year, we had a record year in sales. We had a record year in profit, and our culture is better than it's ever been. We have a strong leadership team. This is going to start sounding like a commercial view, and it's really not. It's just if I were talking to somebody else, same thing. So I don't want anybody to think you've got me on here to talk about, you know, all your. This is just. This is how it happened. And I'm like a bedlam. This stuff, you know, over four decades in this business and, you know, things are really good nowadays. So, you.
Know, the thing I admire about you is, like, you're definitely like, there's a lot of owners out there that just definitely don't think that, you know, I can't learn anything new. I'm just kind of like, I've been doing this for a long time. There's one thing I always loved about you, is that you've always had this openness of. About just being able to, like, all right, tell me. Let's talk about it. Explain why and, like, you know, open the doors. And you are just a knowledge. You just love to learn and read and grow. And that's the number one thing I think, that makes a great leader, is that this ability to be a lifelong student.
