“There are things that are non delegatable that one of we should probably talk about. It's on my list of things. So one is earnings calls. Another one is getting onto public stages, right? So for instance, we have an annual conference called inbound that, you know, the last time it was in person had like 25,000 people in the live event, right? Like it's big and I have to give the keynote every year and I've been doing it for 10 plus years now. Which I hate and I'm bad at, but that was one of those because I'm founder, that was one of those non delegatable things, right?
