Bryan: Jay and I, you know, we’ve been friends, I mean we’re, I mean we’re best friends. He’s – we’re line brothers, we were roommates in college and so it started off as a friendship, but we also had some mutual goals. And also I think it goes to respect, and respect – I mean I greatly respect Jay’s opinion. You know, it’s like people ask me my opinion on stuff and I ask Jay’s opinion on things. And you know, we talk about how we think the industry is gonna change and what do we see as opportunities and you know, I think it comes – a lot of it is the fact that we respect each other’s opinions and have mutual goals. And how do we not hate each other? I don’t – I mean, you know it’s never like that, I mean, I mean, I don’t know. We’ve just got just an amazing working relationship, you know. I call him, I probably bug him a lot. Sometimes I probably bug him, but he doesn’t really let me know it. (Laughter)

Jay: Quite frankly I know that Bryan would kick my ass if I really did something wrong. (Laughter)

Bryan: I think it’s hugely important to know who’s gonna do what role. There are certainly things that both of us have the ability to do for each other. You know there’s things, you know, if I’m not around, Jay could help a client with. But you know, there are definitely things that are very specific about what we do so that there is – you know, you don’t want to have a bunch of redundancy. If we’re both doing the same thing, then one of us is completely wasting our time, so I think it’s important for each of us to know what the other’s skill set is, abilities, and how we’re gonna attack a project. And if Jay is gonna handle something, then I know that that’s taken care of. I don’t even worry about that. If Jay says he doing something, then I consider it done, and I go on and work on another portion of it, and vice versa. So that just gives us the ability to be productive. I think if you’re both trying to do the same thing, you end up –it’s counterproductive.
