But a lot of times what I have found is that there's a certain amount of people who've always dreamed of doing it, but maybe just didn't have the opportunity or they didn't believe they could do it, didn't know how they could get started. And now with Facebook Live and YouTube videos and virtual meetings, there's just so many ways that you can get out there. It's more accessible than it was maybe in the 80s or the 90s or even the early 2000s.
