People live in their own experiences and whatnot. And if you segregate IT knowledge by generation too, you know, you compared me to my children. My children were much more savvy. When my kids first wanted cell phones, I would tell them they can get it the same age I got my first phone. It is well after college because they weren't invented yet.

When my kids first wanted cell phones, I would tell them they can get it the same age I got my first phone. It is well after college because they weren't invented yet.

But you look at my parents and while I find them quite savvy for their age, they certainly have more trust than I would give the Internet. And I think that, you know, that's another aspect of it, that people don't quite understand how easy it is to behave badly through the Internet and information technology and how quick you can be bad.

I have to say, I'm grateful that my parents actually text me or send me a screenshot of something they get and ask me if it's legit. And I'm always like, no, delete it. This is my whole thing. If it's really important, they will get back to you. If you delete something, they will get back to you. It does.

I've said this, I think my whole career, I even probably said it to you four or five times, Mike, just delete it. If you don't know what it is, they'll get back to you or they'll call you, you know? I just wanted to quickly give you a moment to talk about your role as a corporate lawyer in a food company. A lot of people don't know what that means.

They think lawyer and they picture maybe a courtroom or they picture paperwork or something like that, but sort of like a day-to-day in a food company that you would deal with as much as you could probably disclose. Just a quick snapshot of what that looks like.

Yeah. So I'm certainly not a law talking guy. I don't go to court. That's not what I did. Sometimes the day was mundane. Sometimes it's negotiating a supply agreement with your flower distributor. That's going to be a multi-year agreement for millions of dollars and it would take months and months to negotiate. Sometimes it was dealing with an unfortunate accident or incident in a facility.

We're dealing with one, the safety and health of our employees. One two, dealing with what happened, why and Is this an OSHA issue? Do we need to report it? Those sorts of things. When it came down to the cybersecurity side, you know, it ranged from the early days of, you know, when we learned of an incident forming that task force to get in the room and figure out what's going on.

I think food in general is advancing because now we're looking at more robust recovery plans. I think cybersecurity is now finding its way into there. You know, but we would focus on that, you know, Sometimes it was, you know, I had the board of directors coming and I had to go deal with them. And they played a role in cybersecurity because, you know, again, it's an issue that popped up.

It was front of mind for our last company because we were doing such a large revision to the IT infrastructure. So the board was very much involved in that and listening and learning and watching it. When we did enterprise risk management assessments, IT was always top of mind and usually one of the higher risks we had. Yeah.

As we implemented our system and eventually worked through the bumps and issues that we had, especially it ran fine. Our risk assessment moved. And that was one of my roles was a risk manager. I worked with our risk manager. We would do this assessment every year with the board. It moved from. the system itself running to worrying about the issues that could come in and it haunts.
