[Jaz]David Bretton. Mr. Positivity? [David]Jaz, Good to be here. [Jaz]Absolutely. And I when I thought, right, I want to do something like 12 rules for dentistry because, obviously the book by Jordan Peterson, and a lot of other industries and professions have sort of made their own 12 rules if you'd like.
