So Dave, IPOs, one of the huge stories of 2026, seems like there's more coming. Can you just give everybody a sense of the scale of the IPO market and how big we think this next wave might be?
Dave (00:11):
For sure. You know, this year's already been incredible. The amount of public capital coming to market for advisors to work with is dwarfing anything we've ever seen in the past.
