Well Neil I mean you know we sort of live in this world that's -- connected hyper connected 24/7.

And we're always on email we're always on Twitter.

And quite frankly I don't think it's healthy what what did you say I was just messaging some equipment but so you think -- -- busy doing that.

So you tell your workers white disconnect completely.

Yet I say hey we once you have a great vacation a nice vacation and I wanted disconnecting get off the grid.

And if you do that will give you 7500 dollars what if they all do it wants.

But let's just like normal vacation a formal policy is schedule and coordinated okay.

Mom but 7500 dollars everyone -- does that you could go broke Sunday night and -- pretty wealthy -- but.

Not worried at all I mean if you look at -- is as a sort of a benefit that you give employees.

Sexing up a larger -- especially considering.

What -- salaries are like the yeah it what is your company to about what is it.

Yes or mission is to solve the world's carbon emission -- that does -- -- -- address -- you have an address the problem.

You have duplicate records in complete data partial records out of the contacts as an individual or as a business we fix that.

Alright but now if if you've got -- out in an emergency comes up where there's some.

Earth shattering development there and you don't want to hear seated be -- -- emails or messages are answering phone calls then you're and you're and you're -- -- Trouble.

Now I mean you know that's the whole point if you sort of have this in mind that you will be disconnected from your company at some point in time.

You designed the systems and processes to be more sustainable and having those single points of failure.

-- obviously you the inspiration for this your own experience in developing -- have you let's figure need to there and you're on your PDA ride and then all of a sudden.

What did you look at this and say this is we're not done in the middle of the ancient history and I'm I'm looking at my device.

This fall -- congratulations.

Of the what they make though this work.

But I find as of everywhere I go more isn't gonna devices -- poisoning problem always think always.

And I don't think I want to become an erotic not but what will you give me some advice.

I think you know it's tough I I you know why I got a lot of inspiration from Brad -- -- leading industrial -- group and in Boulder, Colorado and and he's he -- going off the grid quarterly where he literally gives his phone to his wife Amy.

At the beginning and education and she gives it back at the end of the vacation and that's worked for him -- that was part of the inspiration for this program.

And you think can -- -- -- -- -- I can.

I'm I'm sorry but you think the workers that come back more energized more -- more into what they're doing so -- It did just that sense it's good for the company anyway.

Absolutely and if so what we've seen -- deserved.

Is it takes about three days to actually disconnect to go through with a three balls for about three days right and after that it's just amazing we just had a few guys come back from.

On -- review and they're like wow.

This was unbelievable and I and I can actually see the productivity gains.

Good for you -- -- -- nice guy and nice boss you and but everyone in this studio now is sending -- -- had no idea.
