So that would probably be my advice.

I think one of my favorite quotes to like humble myself and our team was this old text that you'd made a ton of money and like energy.

And I was 24.
38:17
So I'm asking like really open-ended questions.

I will say, in the last year, year and a half or so, the legwork of reviewing a large, giant, onerous contract is all of a sudden a lot easier when you feed it in to Copilot or ChatGPT.

And the best subcontractors out there are doing that themselves and coming to us now with questions.

Oh, what can I do about this, right? Or there's this soldier on clause where they can stop paying me, but I have to do the work.

Is there anything I can do? Sometimes, especially if it's more of a niche subcontractor and best in class, they might be able to negotiate that, right? Other subcontractors don't have that amount of leverage with the large GCs, so they just need to go in with their eyes open.
4:21
And what we tell them is, know what's out there and understand the large GCs are going to do a very good job of documenting everything about that project.
4:30
You need to do the same, and you need to really make sure you're following that contract, the T, as far as notice requirements and things like that.
5:46
They're paying extra money for these subcontractors to do it, the best-of-class contractors.
