Go here instead because you're going to have a better outcome or find community members in a particular area. Like, for example, resilience, people who understand what you're going through and can help support you on that next phase of life. Just helping people kind of circumvent because there are people who can be predatory out there and take advantage of those who don't know the ins and outs.

There's one of those bills that we're getting ready to have. We're getting ready to host a legislative day on May 6th where I'll be there to help get people back and forth to their appointments to meet their legislators and start putting a face to the person.

And so that's part of the reason that I've gotten involved with that. I've also met a lot of really cool lawyers, like your last guest, Doug. I've met him through LinkedIn. Amazing individual.
