And how about you, Ian?

Yeah, I mean, similarly, I used to love making movies with my friends as a kid, running around my basement, "You say this.

You say that." And then kinda went away from it for a while.

I was a football and basketball player, and after a few too many concussions, I got to college and had to figure out, uh, some other things to do and started doing improv, which I love and, and still do to this day.

And then through that, people started asking me to be in their, their short films.

So the first 10 to 12 acting roles I had, I didn't audition at all, and I was like, "Wow, this is really fun.

This is, this is super easy.

How about you, Ian?

How did that all begin?

Wow.

Okay.

So it started obviously during Corona.

So a little bit more about myself, I guess, is before COVID even started, I was already kind of like a community builder type of person.

I founded a group or co-founded a group called Olimen Tech, around i think 2000 and i was hosting and hosting events for hundreds and hundreds of people maybe 500 people at a time whether it was events with like top speakers we brought in some of the biggest speakers in venture capital and startups to speak to to olim the focus was really bringing in people who made aliyah themselves but occasionally would bring in israelis as well and i was also hosting like happy hours that would bring 300 400 people on top of that i had kind of like in tel aviv i had this community that i built from going to from the synagogue, from being in the tech ecosystem, from just being a social person and meeting people.

So I would host like even events at my apartment over a nighttime would, I'm not exaggerating, would have anywhere between 500 to a thousand people come through the doors overnight.

Do you think, you know, that the virtual platforms are still an ideal way to meet today? Is there, you know, is the virtual space still the place for people to meet? Or is there also a trend in terms of face to face meetings and real life experiences?
