Indirectly, I said, who's finding it harder to win a project these days? And everyone's hand went up.

And I think, you know, for us to provide the audience with as much value as we can, I figured it would be really good if we shared some of the things that, well, you know, some of the things that you do in your business, some of the things that we do in our business, that when things do start to tighten up, because all markets go through cycles.

And it's like, cool, man, like when it's, know, make hay while the sun's shining, that that's a saying for a reason.

Um, and I think, yeah, just sharing some of the strategies, the things we put into place, uh, would be helpful.
