we jump back on because we're still with john and i just want maybe we could just this could

just be like a little sub like maybe like a i don't know a five minute thing a little 10 minute thing

so yeah uh curiosity professional advancement i i just want your thoughts on the rest of our values

just to see if they align with you and if there's any sure and I can go over any of the other stuff again if you'd like.

next two years, next five years, next 10 years to meet their goals? And likewise, if it's,

if you're an internal IT department, it's the exact same question. And so you

teams want, meaning your directors and employees? How do those align with kind of the corporate goals?
