I think that's a great way to put it. And also the gold medal doesn't even feel like a gold medal for the event that it came from. It feels symbolic of the journey. It feels like a symbolic bookend to just all the crazy things that happened. We talked about the sacrifice that my parents made, the injuries, the times that we gave up.

First of all, thanks for the introduction and the kind words, Kirk. I don't know if I can top what you talked about, but you built ICL and so far the results have been incredible. I'm honored to be a part of it, honored to help in any way I can. And you're right, absolutely. I love being able to give back and pass on the things that I've learned and experienced to anyone who might benefit from it.

When I first heard about ICL, I looked it up and I was like, wow, this is incredible. This looks like everything I could have wanted when I was a kid. And I was looking for resources to help balance a rigorous training environment with rigorous academic needs. And so the more I get to learn about it, the more I have respect for everyone involved.

And it's just incredible to see when I look at the students in ICL, I don't see students. I just see like shadows of my younger self. I see people who John, we already talked about this, like seeing myself in the younger generations. I see kids who are ambitious and motivated and love what they do and are hungry. It's like Steve Jobs' famous speech, stay hungry, stay hungry.
