To me, it's not it's not a difficult question because I bring to any decision making process that I'm involved in, I try to bring a decision making process that's based in common sense, that's pragmatic, that is fact based, that's not emotional, that's not special interest designated, and that's problem solving oriented. And you can't do that if you don't speak to the people, if you don't listen to people, and if you're not responsive to people. You have to have the ability to have a reasonable, honest communication, and you have to have people who are willing to try to resolve issues. And that collaboration, I think, and that ability to interact with people, I hope would be a skill set that I could bring to the table. I've had that opportunity to use those talents in other venues, whether it's in my own business, which we've been pretty successful in, in the ability to work out arrangements, to work out transactions, to do business deals, to actually be able to create value and create opportunities for people in an economic and business sense, especially in the real estate area, in the legal area, in the financial area, which are all opportunities and all issues that we're gonna have to deal with, but also in the nonprofit world, in trade organization world where you really have to collaborate with people to create goals, to create issue based solutions, to difficult questions, and you can't do that alone, you can't do that from a top down, it has to be a process that is really generated from the bottom up based on facts, based on discussions, based on reasonableness, common sense, study, education, knowledge. You have to be prepared. I think that guidance is not unavailable in our community, but it hasn't been accessed and it hasn't been encouraged. And I think maybe that might be an influence that that maybe I would be able to have a positive effect on.
