That's a great question. I think if I was gonna describe swings culture in three words, first, I'd say curiosity. One, it's part of our values. Be curious. But I think you have to be curious about our business because the way we get to impact schools and Subs, there's a lot of dynamics are going to it. So you always have to be curious about what goes into that, how it impacts other team members, the work they're carrying. So I always think you got to be really curious because this is kind of a, I say a new frontier in terms of how we approach our work. The second work I would say is complex. Our business model is complex where you have to engage with schools and Subs and try to find the right pairing. So that way one, you can wow the schools and you can wow the Subs, but the at the end of the day, you want to help improve educational outcomes. So there's complexity to getting that formula right. And I think the other thing is fun. Every day I come to swing, it's always like a challenge and thinking about how can I approach this? What's the better way of doing something? So I think that makes it fun in the sense of it challenges. And there's never a day where it's dull. Good one. It depends how you take it. So I remember I have. I had a manager who's actually a good friend of mine now they said to me. Why are you here if you aren't making my life easier? So it wasn't an indictment of me or I wasn't making a life easier, but they were just talking about management in general. And when you have someone on your team and they actually make it harder for you to do your job, it's a good question. Why are you here? And I thought about that for some time, like, because for some people, if you took that the wrong way, like that feels really harsh. But I think it's honest and I prefer the honesty. So I think like when you're building a team, you want people to contribute impact. You want them to add value. And I think when you do all those things really, really well. It provides ease to everyone else because I can count on my teammate. I trust them. I've been in the trenches with them and I know that they what they're going to do, what they said they're going to do. So I think that's really, really impactful. So like, I'm making my boss's life easier when I do a really good job. And I think also it's just being intuitive since I've been working my entire career. Like my goal is always to be indispensable. I want to make an impact. I want to do my best. But that advice really crystallized for me. I'm making this person's life. Easier by giving them leverage, allowing them to go do their best work. And so I think that's true, but I think it also helps you in self-awareness. Like if you're self aware, you're going, am I adding the impact that I want to have? Am I doing, am I doing my best? Am I make in my life, my boss's life easier? I think if you can do that, I think you're, you can always be generally satisfied about what you did that day and did you have the value that you set out to do? Because at the end of the day, I also have to satisfy myself in terms of like meeting my own obligations or ambitions. So if I can do that, then I feel like I added the value and I helped. I could go back to any point in time and why I thought long and hard. About this this type of question before the answer always shifts, but right now this is how I feel. I go back to the 70s for the music and culture, like all the music groups that I grew up listening to. They would have been like. Kind of younger peak. Concert venues like my dad talks about like, oh, you should have seen Earth, Wind and Fire when I was in college or you know, Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder, all those, all those acts were happening in the 70s. I mean, they still exist now, but like they would have been peak, peak, peak. And I would have loved to have seen them live in concert because if I've seen them now, it's a very different experience. So I go back for the music and culture and just be, I'd be a heavy concert goer just going to all those concerts and seeing. All those guys in their peak.
