Yeah, I've been looking forward to it.

I'm so glad we were able to connect.

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to believe last time we had spoken.

Last time you and I had the chance and privilege to connect, I was honored to have received a Congressional Medal of Honor Society Citizen Honor Award for my work with the autism community, specifically here in Colorado with TACT and the Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce and a book that I had written and

I have since, since I had spoken to you, I ended up getting appointed by the governor here in Colorado to work for a new office called the Colorado Disability Opportunity Office.

It's really pretty fantastic in the sense that Colorado became one of the first states to have a disability policy advisor, where most states to the governor will have somebody that advises them on education, transportation, housing, all those kind of things.

However, not disability, which seems kind of surprising.

Colorado does.

And as this governor's term has been coming to an end, he wanted to make sure that kept going.

And so they ended up making a whole new state office to do just that.

They didn't want to raise taxes to do it.

And so they got really creative in the way they went around it as they ended up reissuing historic license plates here in Colorado.

so not like you know in tennessee you would have if you're a ut fan the volunteers you have a tennessee titans plate or a disabled veterans plate or something along that they have that here in colorado too nothing like that they took historic plates from the 50s the 60s etc and brought them back and said okay the one that's really popular for us is an all black plate with white lettering it's very simple looks a lot like the black and yellow out in california

If you'd like this license plate, you can do it.

It's 25 bucks.

Well, people turns out really like historic things like that, but it's clean and simple and not branded with this favorite sports team or cause.

It's now generating about a million and a half bucks a month for us.

$25 a pop.

That's great.

Which is just wild.
