And when we first started HubSpot, I ran it a little bit like Jensen runs NVIDIA, where I didn't do one-on-ones, and I gave a lot of good and bad feedback publicly in large management team meetings, and I definitely would go out of my way to criticize people if I felt like they were solving for TV over EV. And people got a sense for that. And then, every quarter we did a really well-produced company meeting, we spent a lot of time on it, and at the end of the company meeting, we gave out, we called them the Champaigner Awards, it was a bottle of Veuve, that my co-founder and I signed.
