Thank you so much, @tony_b :handshake:

Wow — just 8K points to go! You’ve got this :flexed_biceps: The way you’ve balanced both strategy and consistency is really inspiring.

I can totally relate to the slowdown in road approvals — been facing that too lately :sweat_smile: But I’m sure your plan to ramp up videos and reviews will get you to Level 10 in no time.

Wishing you all the best, my friend! Let’s cross that Level 10 finish line together this year :bullseye::fire:
