JB: It’s invigorating to get into those conversations with the younger generations that kind of get it. There’s a move in the industry to do things a little more streamlined, to use technology as a tool, finding a way to integrate technology into your sales process. We are not jumping into things that =giant fortune 500 companies have with technology.
