You did a little bit traveling, did you? 00;01;27;14 - 00;01;49;00 You know, I am David Cross Travelers dot com. I do love my travels. And hey, my last big trip, right, was to France and I went to Normandy in Omaha Beach. So definitely check it out. And I will say, as the veteran, right, it's an amazing experience. And I was even able to conduct the, you know, the ceremony at the cemetery that is there. 00;01;49;00 - 00;02;00;16 It Omaha Beach or the Normandy. Right. It's quite an honor. And it's something if you ever have the opportunity, I think as a veterans, it's kind of a place we must all visit that How long do. 00;02;00;16 - 00;02;10;09 You plan that trip? That sounds like something that you had to spend some time thinking about. How are you going to how are you going to go and how long are you going to spend time? Was it much thought or was it last minute? 00;02;11;11 - 00;02;27;02 No, I thought about it for a year.

That's a good segue way. And don't think that I just let you slide over that shameless plug of David Cross travels. That was a good one. You didn't say your blog one yet, though, so we'll wait for that. Relationships. Yep. So, folks, you know, we've been talking about lately a lot of the things that go on. 00;02;50;07 - 00;03;22;23 Right. And so we can look at it from different perspectives, you know, the importance of relationships. Why do you have. And I think both David and I in our own ways, independent of each other. David just alluded to that here. But, you know, you have you have you have some categories that you're split relationships up in to say, oh, it's a work relationship or it's my, you know, my circle of five where it's my closest friends or my closest The board of directors, you know, there's types of relationships that we're going to we're going to talk through today. 00;03;23;11 - 00;03;42;08 And and maybe just kind of well, we're just going to talk about them because the value is relative to the perception of you and how and how you can understand things for you.
