I had two guys working for me that were good performers but quite inconsistent. We had a bit of a little bet for some tickets to this concert that they couldn't be positive about their market for one month. They weren't allowed to say anything negative about their market for a month. The moment anybody heard them, they lost the bet. They ended up managing to do the whole month without being negative about anything. And then they went on that year to be the top 5 billers globally and went on the super trip and everything else like that. And that, that was in 2015, I think. And that always then became like an example and a management style for me is if you can be, if you can have the right attitude, and be positive, you will get results. And that helped us get to where we wanted to get to.
