Yeah.

But when you can see how things evolve, there's certain trends that will continue regardless of how the industry is doing, which is making sure that people operate like a real business.
2:17
You know, yes, you're practicing medicine, but guess what? You're still...
2:20
having to pay your bills.
2:21
You still need to negotiate with vendors.

So you would suggest that if you are interested in getting more involved in your state, maybe start reaching out to your network in that area and see kind of what kind of groundswell you can sort of build and of course be in contact with us here at Ansba.
