My question is back to you as this individual that sits in all of these different sectors, spaces, academia, policy, government in the farm otherwise.

It sounds like what you're talking about is having to experience those things in context to make the data relevant.

How do we scale that from where you sit?

Do you think we need more of you?

We need more humans in that kind of connective role doing this translation to make that last mile connection happen between the data

and it being useful and relevant?

I mean, so it sounds like humility is important.

It sounds like deep listening.

being very intentional with your observations.

It's like what we're missing is the connective tissue of understanding.

No.

Wow.

And so again, that's only happening because you're using your extra money, your friends.

My friends.

And carrying the stuff yourself.

And learning how to ask good questions.

Yeah.

Not just ones that are in a classroom or academia, but actually that apply to the people that are living them.

Yeah.

So what is something that is scaring you right now?
