Austin, Eric, maybe each of you tell us a bit about yourselves and your backgrounds, which people would love to know a bit more about what you guys were doing prior to being involved in this space and what you guys are currently working on now, whoever maybe wants to go first.

Erik BalsbaughGUEST
I graduated from college and moved out to Jackson Hole immediately to piss off my parents and then came back and worked for John Kerry to piss them off even more.

Erik BalsbaughGUEST
And so I got hooked on campaigns and the adrenaline of that and for the next 20 years was involved in campaigns, politics, public affairs.

Erik BalsbaughGUEST
I was actually one of the first consultants that worked with Elizabeth Warren when she ran for Senate in 2012, and have been a general consultant for candidates, issues, and business as well.

Brandon ZempHOST
How did each of you guys kind of arrive at open frontier? What was kind of your entry there?
