Ami KassarHOST
Can you talk a little bit about that and when and how that all started and the stages for that?

David BrunickGUEST
Uh, my mom, in her typical style, said, uh, "Why at 62 do you wanna be an entrepreneur?" And, uh, I said, "It's not so much I wanna be an entrepreneur.

David BrunickGUEST
I don't wanna be limited by other people who influence how it gets done." I wanted to do it in the way that I had learned and, and believed could be successful in providing wide access.
