I think that's one of the most rewarding parts about being a leader and a trailblazer is sometimes people think what stinks? That we're the ones that build it all, because the generations after us reap. And I don't really look at it that way. I love the idea of what we're building. We're the first to do it. I feel like it's a rite of passage. It's a wonderful opportunity to be a leader. And there's a quote that we like and we share in a lot of our meetings that the person that plants a seed, knowing that they'll never sit under the shoulder shade of that tree, is starting to understand the essence of life. And a lot of us that are doing this for the first generation, our families are those individuals. I'm okay with that. I will take that all day long, knowing that all the future fuller generations will be set up. And as long as we have the right team, the right documentation in place, leadership and stewardship is instilled.
