And it was, I think I felt it on a different level because to imagine my daughter being diagnosed with ovarian cancer is really different than for me.

So I actually think that thinking about it, I actually think it really makes me think on a very different level in my job today.

Well, if you get down to that level, you're meeting with a team.

talking about the near-term steps so we're in phase three how are our how's our site activation relative to forecast how are patients being enrolled you're meeting with investors you're meeting with banks you're ultimately i mean when i read each quarter when i read our quarterly we have to formally report out our earnings

We have a formal document, a 10Q, and every time I read it, I'm reminded that I am labeled as the chief decision-making officer in the company.

So we need to have a long-term plan, a short-term plan, and we have to have money to keep moving.

And so I need to be connecting in with my leaders.

I've got phenomenal people under me.

that are driving programs, but need to bounce ideas off of.

They need to be able to articulate where we're exceeding expectations, where we're not, and what we're going to do about it.

And then of course, make sure that we pivot where needed.

But I'd say one of the more core components that is a really central part is making sure we have the resources to advance.

And what's really, really just

thrilling with the role of a CEO.

So we have our own internal CMC group based in Huntsville, Alabama.

So I get to talk deep science, actually talking about how we're prepping for commercial product and advances that have to happen.

But we're actually starting, we produce all of the active pharmaceutical ingredient that now patients are being treated with in our labs.

I talk finance, I talk quality, we talk clinical trials and science, new indications.

I mean, honestly, it is just a thrilling opportunity to talk to deep experts who are passionate and dedicated and we're pivoting between short-term and long-term execution strategy and then getting to translate that outside the company.

So it really is an amazing job.
