Ah, yes, I know about this. I got off the ski lift and I saw this after I had posted like, oh, my life is amazing. And I was like, oh, my God. You know, you can totally and everybody replied like, are you in the room? And I'm like, oh, my Lord. This is unbelievable. We'll obviously talk about that.
Yes, I put $500 behind it to boost it to try to get my ratings up. No, I actually literally deleted it because I posted it. And I never do that. But I posted a video where I was like, oh, my God, it's incredible. And I was like, you know what? This is the wrong time for it. So a little grace there, folks.

So I'm sure she's ours, but I've been friends with her longer. So my good friend, Cyan Baxter, our good friend and our bestie. Let's just leave it at that. It doesn't have to be a competition for who Cyan likes best.

Well, I mean, Cyan and I fought in the Clone Wars together. It was a long time ago. But she's a technologist, self-made individual, who then decided she would start writing small angel checks about 14 years ago. Literally the same year I did. And myself, Cyan, of all...

And Cyan and I would, 14 years ago, I guess, we would meet startup companies together and host little events where we get together and take pitches. And we invested in a couple of companies together, and it worked out very nicely for everyone involved. Yeah.

Yeah, it's been a good run. It's been a good run. And also, I'll just add, a wonderful human being. And if you ever had the chance to hang out and talk for a couple of hours, Cyan would be one of those people that you'd put right at the top of the list.

I love it. Yeah. Well, it's true. Cyan was voted most humble in our angel investing group, and I was a close second. So I almost won most humble. More work to do being humble.
