space? are they going to downsize? especially if they are committed to going hybrid? you probably don't need as much space. reporter: that's a great point. the survey found 60% of companies have actually not reduced their leases or do not plan on doing so, whereas 20% have or plan to -- 28% have or plan to. the rest are undecided. we have the link to all the survey results on our website, and questions that go over all the topics about the great return. larry: thanks to much. as more people had back to the office, there is something else going on. a change of mood, so to speak. i'm mark and i live in vero beach, florida. my wife and i have three children. ruthann and i like to hike. we eat healthy. we exercise. i noticed i wasn't as sharp as i used to be. my wife introduced me to prevagen and so i said "yeah, i'll try it out." i noticed that i felt sharper, i felt like i was able to respond to things quicker.
