You know the Rippling CEO, right? Parker Conrad. So you know Brian Halligan, the CEO of HubSpot, started a new podcast. And I was like, oh, he's interviewing all these CEOs. I'm gonna listen. So I listened to Parker, and this is a really interesting tactic that I started trying actually as soon as this week. What you just mentioned, if we're talking Gen Z, even a lot of people struggle to be held accountable or talk in terms of metrics. You would agree with that, right? Many people. And so what Parker does is he actually sends recruits that he's going to talk to, he sends them the investor decks, all these things, the strategy around the company. His expectation is when you come into the meeting with him, you're going to talk, you're going to have questions, and you're going to have a deep, strategic conversation. And you can tell by that conversation over 30 minutes or so if that person, they know what to talk about when it comes to metrics and how they think, how their motor is, right?
