So that's the good thing about going after executives is those people are really dialed in. No one takes a meeting off track at an executive level. Now of course, there's some times where there's people that meander. You could say, "I love this conversation. Can we park it because I actually want to spend another call just dedicated to that? " And if that needs to happen, then of course you can run with it. Awesome. So there's two people that might be leading this.
