I really value them, I think when you talk about Dana [Massie], Rafael [Morffi] and QT [Marshall], each of them has been with us since the beginning and made huge contributions to the company. And well, really very challenging uh to to to have people like that step away. But I think the company’s growing, and I’m very excited about what we’ll be doing in 2024.”

And at the end of the year of course, [it’s] not unusual sometimes in businesses for contract things to expire December 31st at the end of the year. And and new cycles to start January 1st. And just like the name of the pay-per-view this Saturday night, World’s End, it’s going to be a new group. And there’ll be some new things happening, and I’m really excited about it. I would be remiss to say I’m really grateful for all the contributions of the people you just mentioned and going forward, I think we’ll have some exciting things to announce.”
