So Amy is the outgoing executive director of Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City and a longtime artist advocate, in part because she's an artist herself.

She's leaving the foundation to pursue her own dreams to be released in the coming year or so.

I'm not at liberty to discuss all those plans, but I can tell you this, it will be a tremendous support to artists.

It's worth mentioning that she was a guest inside Network for our Slide Slam, an event where guests reviews an artist's artwork every minute for an hour.

And she was just incredible, like highly articulate, pulling out relevant information from all the work, all on the fly, like tour de force.

So I recommend just watching her and seeing what she does because in the next year or two, I think you're going to see a lot of the plans that she's had for some time start to come into fruition.

And that's going to be really exciting because she will be, as she has done her entire career, supporting artists.

So there are so many professionals who aren't on this list and could have easily been included, but there's just not this space or time for that.

Unfortunately, if you know of someone you love to see profiled here though, please reach out and let me know.

I'm always looking for new people.

The more we know about each other, the better we want to spread that knowledge.

All right.

That's it for the podcast.

But before I go, because it's Black Friday, I would be remiss not to remind you of our Vanta Black Friday sale.

It's the lowest price of the year.

You get $100 off the annual membership price.

So instead of $877, your price will be $777.

which works out to 12 months for the cost of nine.

The sale ends December 2nd.

So that's on Monday.
