How much does uncertainty at the top shake confidence? Are there things that a firm should be doing well in advance of any kind of leadership changes to prepare for succession?

Yeah, I think so.

And again, I'll qualify this again by saying I'm not casting any aspersions on the people in this case because I don't know the particular facts.

But yeah, I think, look, it's one of the most fraught times I would tell you in any law firm's history.

And we just went through it ourselves after I served as... managed partner CEO for 20 years and successfully over almost a two-year period handed over to Lino Mendiola, who's doing an amazing job.

But it is super hard, not because, and put aside the people involved, there is a strategic question.

And I think this has come up in a number of things that we've heard about while about strategic differences in where a potential future leader wanted to take the firm and where some other partners wanted to take the firm.

But if you were back in a law firm today, and it's not the Weill Gottschall situation, but you're watching it play out, what are you doing? What are you saying to the staff?

I think you've spoken on or had interest in the human side of AI, but yeah, I would love to hear what your thoughts are.

It's a game changer, and there can be bad parts of it and good parts of it.

I'm an optimist by nature, and I think there will be a ton of amazing uses of it.

We're at a super bumpy time now where it's all everybody talks about.

We're all...

You hear people say 98% of our firm is using AI every day.

I'm not disparaging anybody, but define use of AI, of course.

I'm curious, the genesis, what's your honest take on what it proved and maybe what it didn't prove? How does that relate with the firm today to your clients, that sort of thing? Can you update us on that?

Tell me about it.

We do.

Yeah, so Chick-fil-A has worked with some of the – brick and mortar universities and given us as operators the opportunity to buy into it.

And by buy into it, I mean I pay a flat fee every month.

And as many as my employees, team members that want to go to college can go to college.

We've actually had a couple of graduates already from Point University.

And to me, the coolest thing right now is I've got five high school seniors.

do they view, I guess, to determine, all right, that was a success, we're going to continue it, or, hey, that didn't necessarily do what we wanted it to do, so we're going to maybe not do it in the future?
