So we are always pleased to have you here, and please welcome Ben Frush and Brewer Eberly.

[audience applauding] Thank you, everyone.

This is, um, this is really a delight to be here.

I-- At the sake of sounding cheesy on the offset, I, I really have already had so many conversations that have filled my soul with hope just in the last few hours.

And I think what makes rooms like this so special is, of course, what happens in the meals and the margins of the time.

And so we've, we've worked hard to try to s-honor that and to set up a conversation today that will equip us all to talk at our tables, which I'll speak about more in a moment.

Thank you again, John, Michael, and Allison.

Yeah.
