So we also, when I had Food Quality Magazine, I had pharmaceutical formulation quality. So I learned about the FDA regulations from not only food, but also pharma. Couldn't do anything in that market either. So decided to launch Red Tech Intelligence, which was for the medical device industry, focused on regulatory compliance. It took two years to really perfect the business model.

And during that period, I got introduced to somebody and we decided to launch the conferences allied to it. So- After two years, my non-compete was up. So I took the business model that we had developed MedTech and applied that back to truly my roots in my career had been all within the food processing publishing industry.

So I took what I learned there and we still publish MedTech intelligence, but then got back into the industry that I know and I love people that I've, you know, we're working with food quality. Now I was now working in the state. That also is why the Food Safety Consortium was an extension of publishing.

There's just, you know, there's a lot of legacy. Talking to Mark Carter, who's the president of IDFP. And Mark and I go back almost 30 years as friends. He's doing a webinar with me, but also potentially speaking at the consortium. But, you know, Mark and I have known each other for years.

And I could rattle off a bunch of other people that just through the course of 30 years, you know, and it's a really great industry.

On the publishing side, actually within food quality, I ended up leading a project called a long time ago, but it was really kind of one of those events in your career that you really look back on fondly of. So come the time, the technology of ATP, environmental monitoring, really been just introduced. There was a lot of confusion in the industry on what it does.

Some people in the industry thought it was actually replaced into traditional microbiology or definitive results. So I ended up leading a project that that We had readers of our magazine do demo tests, actually, and use an instrument in their plant for two weeks. And we put together an evaluation form for them to fill out, and they were able to demo.

So I ended up leading a project that that We had readers of our magazine do demo tests, actually, and use an instrument in their plant for two weeks. And we put together an evaluation form for them to fill out, and they were able to demo.

I think there were six or seven different companies that participated, providing each of our testers with an instrument and the supplies needed and instructions on how to use it. And then we compiled all this data into a research project that turned into an article. In addition to this, it was a pretty serious topic.

And in order to just also have a little bit of fun with it, ATP is the same technology or the same chemical process that takes place in a firefly's butt load. Oh. Yeah. Excellent. So when there's presence of protein from a swab and then you connect that with the test, it glows like fireflies.

We ended up hiring a cartoonist who did these personified fireflies flying around with swabs and quality control, you know, hairnets and things like that on them with the names of the different instruments manufacturers on their back or something like that. And That's brilliant. It was a lot of fun. And so when we did that and that article came out, it really made a massive impact in the street.
