He'll also lead a nationwide search for a chief food safety officer to succeed him. In addition to his advisory role, Frank will chair the Boar's Head Food Safety Advisory Council.

If you're interested in hearing more from Frank, he will also be speaking at the Food Safety Consortium this year, where he'll be covering the topics of listeria and food processing environments. So stay tuned for what's sure to be a very insightful session. Now back to my chat with Rick. But I do remember, and I'm sure you saw it, they did post for the new head of food quality for Borsad.

And I was like, is it too soon? I mean, they obviously need the help. But I thought, wow, whoever takes that role better have mixed in. Some of the heroes. They will be.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

That'd be one hell of a speaker if you could get them next year. You should totally. I mean, everybody needs to figure out who it is quickly and get that conversation going. But there are those in the industry that are like... Yeah, and I think that there are so many unsung heroes that are in the food safety space anyways.

It's a privilege to stand around these people because you know that they have prevented massive disasters. And I think that's why I gravitate towards... The food industry more than I have in any other industry is because it's not just about safeguarding data, it's about safeguarding lives. And you can always feel good about waking up in the morning for that reason.

And not that I'm saying anybody who just worries about data doesn't have a reason to get up, but that extra little like good of humanity and the good of the planet, like that feels really good. You know, it helps you charge up the hill a little bit faster. I really appreciate this, Rick, because first of all, I've learned a lot. So thank you very much.

I always love when I learn things on the podcast. I want to close out with what are your top few things that you think are very misunderstood in the food safety side? Because I have a lot of listeners that are in the operational technology space, cybersecurity, IT. I got a whole gamut of people who listen.

But what do you want people to know that they're misunderstanding, especially since you write a publication because you hear this and you know this?

And for all the cybersecurity IT listeners out there, is that ring true for you? Do you hear that all the time in your industry? Because we are definitely considered a cost center because we are expensive. There's so many similarities between food safety teams and cybersecurity and IT teams. It's ridiculous to me now.
