They're trying to make you not be able to make a shape that they think is evil.
8:05
Well, that's exactly it.
8:06
I mean, there's an example that I gave in one of the Senate hearings.
8:09
I said, you know, we all know that, you know, it stinks when you microwave fish and it's a terrible smell, but we don't get mad at the fish or the microwave and get mad at Bob who microwaved the fish.
8:20
Oh, it's always Bob and accounting.
8:22
It is at Bob and accounting actually.
8:24
So, so you have this example of it, but more so that 3d printers make all sorts of objects and we brought in legacy effects.
11:52
It will hinder and it will cause problems.
19:59
Tell us about Tobin Left, the work that you do, and who is the ideal client for your firm.
20:06
Well, I appreciate the opportunity to share that.
20:09
So we are mission driven.
20:10
Our mission is to help owners monetize what they've built, monetize their life's work.
20:16
We don't put a disclaimer on that saying providing your EBITDA is more than $3 million or $5 million.
20:24
I mean, our fee structure kind of qualifies some, but we're really focused on helping those owners monetize.
20:33
We have different partners and specialists that help clients that might have larger enterprises that could be selling to private equity groups.
23:52
What are those key strategic moves, David?
139:40
they're the most fun guns yeah exactly
139:44
so but but so there's that aspect of it right and we've talked about that and then i said no i said a 3d printer's job is to make objects just like a sewing machine is to make objects with different things like that like well it can make this and then we walked through it and what what i think the most important thing is with any of this because what we're trying to do is two things at the same time We're trying to defeat a bill where it is completely highly politically organized.
140:07
There's millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars behind this initiative and everything else like that.
140:14
And it's just me launching this initiative with the help of everyone in the community and the companies that are getting on board.
140:18
And it's amazing.
140:20
But.
140:21
We're also at the exact same time educating the general population about 3D printing.
