His early days of entrepreneurship were centered around developing lifelike simulation dolls for medical training. He's now the CEO of an early stage drug device combo blattery drug delivery platform, it's a mouthful, called Watershed Therapeutics that has some exciting early results. He's also an author of Hidden Wombat, which he will elaborate on, I really hope.

He's also an expert on building custom Halloween costumes, so I can't wait to hear what's in store this year. Finally, he's a great friend of mine, which in my humble opinion is his biggest claim to fame. With that, Topher, welcome to the show. Thank you very much, Brian. Awesome. So great to have you. Always like to start out. Just tell us a little bit about yourself, kind of background.
