And the fact that you can think long range and you're doing that and you're placing a degree of emphasis on thinking long range but you're also taking the action steps now to make that long range vision of yours a reality. That's commendable. And as a fellow dad, as Richard, being a fellow dad, I have four kids myself, two of which are twins coincidentally. And being able to share this with them at an age where sometimes we can underestimate just how conceptual our kids actually are if we explain it to them as Nelson shared with us to say, look, this concept is meant to be ridiculously simple. It's not meant to be sensationalized. Keep it simple and we have to keep it simple to explain it to our children at an early age. And so credit to you for doing that. That's commendable. And your kids will be watching this video on YouTube someday saying, I remember that dinner conversation I had with my dad.
