Thank you. It's an honor really talking with you. I wish I knew more background about you. It sounds like you've lived a very interesting life so far and you've created a platform and a program that really has integrity and that is a kind of deep dive into some of the more important questions that we need to be asking ourselves. So I feel really privileged to be part of it.
