How many of you have taken a vacation so far this year? Raise your hand if you've taken a vacation so far this year. Okay, awesome. Raise your hand if you haven't. All right, so it looks like haven'ts win, right? And you might be wondering, vacation from what? So when we have downtime is when we actually expand. So our most expansive thinking actually takes place when. When we're in different environments, when we're in different states and when we are surrounding ourselves with different people, creating new conversations. So one of the things that I've been doing lately and I invite all of you to do is to get a gym membership, right? That switches things up a little bit. So this morning I was at Lifetime Fitness.
