So thank you for joining us.

But no, thank you.

Thanks for the introduction and great to meet all of you.

I've spoken really highly about this group, so I'm very excited to to speak with you folks.

Hearing the introduction just made me feel tired thinking all those things that I did.

But what I thought I'd do, I think we've got an hour-ish, right? So I thought what I would do is I'm going to try to give you a really high-level view of, as best I can, how I started, what I've done, what I'm doing right now, and then open it up to a really long session of whatever else you guys want to talk about, either related to what I've just said or not.

Up to you.

But I was just kind of curious, I guess, what was your involvement and were you, I guess, there not only in just, I guess, doing your own, which you did with your friend, but then also in the mentorship process, like how was it at NYU and what recommendations did you have for someone who's potentially interested in that path?
