So Mark and I were one day sitting down doing seedling across from each other, planting the seeds for the microgreens and Mark looks up with a big smile on his face and says, "I could do this for a job." And six weeks later, he had a job. It's that sort of motivation that's required coming from the guys we work with to motivate me to go, OK, we're gonna make a job for you now you're showing an interest in that. Now Mark worked for us for 2 1/2 years, he has made some great innovations and flow in our workflow, produced a lot of microgreens and after 2 1/2 years just earlier last year, he came to me and said he was gonna leave the farm. I said, well, what are you? What are you gonna do? He said, "Well, I now know what I wanna do. I've got real purpose in my life. I'm gonna go and study zoology and I wanna work with animals and I wanna thank you for giving purpose to my life. So at an anecdotal level, that's a really amazing outcome of what we do. The other thing with Mark was that.
