The four hour workweek was this really big dream thing. And I was close, but I had never considered doing this. And I decided, hey, let's do it. And that was. It was really life changing to take that step of, yep, I'm going to go on this trip. And not only was it the precedent for future trips that we've done, it was also life changing in that lots of stuff got off of my plate and I realized, yeah, these people are really, really talented and they can do more work and they can do better work than I thought, and I can continue to give work to people in the Philippines and they can, they can kind of run things for me while I'm spending time with my family.
