And I went, what the heck is that? But I'll take a day off. Fast forward 11 years, we're all starting to use Revit. We're all doing all this stuff. And I want to talk about the world of tech, the world of bim, and learn a little bit from someone that's not only used it, but set it up in practices and also set it up in these digital agencies and is now got this amazing consultancy.
