Great voice. Although I'm going to end it right now.

Yeah, and this ties together a lot of the themes that we talk about. It requires a second of setup. But for those that don't know my early background, I was the press secretary to the Mayor Giuliani on 9-11, version 1.0 of Mayor Giuliani, America's mayor. And then I ended up becoming chief operating officer of the World Trade Center site to do the rebuilding.

And as we were inventing all this technology for this sport, how to fly a drone at 100 miles an hour with a goggle with no latency, it doesn't crash into the wall, how to get radio signals in a complex environment with cinder blocks, like all these technological challenges. In that journey, a couple of years in, we had this feeling that like, wow, what we are inventing could be used by terrorists.

And this is probably going to be the future of warfare with drones. And we should spin off a company quietly, blow the radar and make sure it's built here on American soil. I know this sounds like grandiose, maybe not in hindsight. Right. But at the time. And so we created a company in stealth mode in Alabama called Performance Drone Works.
