So we've made a lot of investments recently in the partner program. What I'm most excited about is in my new organization, we have finally brought together all elements of the channel. So we have our business agents, our alternate channel distribution, which is outbound telemarketing and door to door distribution. We also have our mobility co sell program, which as our VADs and our VARS, which we work with on a daily basis and a co cell motion. And in order to really pull that together, we've also included our indirect to business point, which is our business agents that we sell through brick and mortar over five thousand doors throughout the nation. So by pulling this channel together, We're seeing synergies. We're seeing cohesion. We've got a very strong leadership team in place. And we're working hand in hand also with our direct sales teams. We all report into our CRO, Aparnaker. And so there's a lot of great synergy across the business units.
