Let's get the word out.

You know, you should be on a podcast.

I should.

There is a strong desire to hide things that are unique because it becomes intellectual property of an IP of the business that can actually add to its value.

Remember that warp engine you talked about?

So one of the things as a CEO of a space startup that I think about a lot is integrity.

And so to your kind of what you're scratching out a little bit is if there was something so great that could benefit humanity, I learned a lot from Paul Allen when I worked for him, because one of the things I took- Microsoft Paul Allen.

Microsoft Paul Allen.

And one of the things I took away from Paul was technology for the benefit of humanity.

So that's one of our kind of cultural touchstones at Portal Space Systems.

So if we had something so great and so beneficial to humanity, I wouldn't want to hide that.

But that's just my take on integrity.

Well, we should talk to her about it.

It's probably going to come down to the value and the dollar.

I think she'd rather have a husband with integrity than without.

It's what I think she'd probably say.

But we don't have enough integrity.

integrity in the business right now, is a personal observation.

Because the push to make money, the push to grow a business and satisfy investors sometimes compromises people's value systems in ways that aren't great.

businesses are trying to drive for that next fundraise, that next investor, and they lie their asses off to get to the next step.
