And when I first got into the commercial world, the business world, the term NDA almost made my skin crawl.
I'm like: "What, you don't trust me, and you think I'm gonna share information? And why can't I share information? Because we're all in this together.

You know, you get in a room, you make sure everybody has the right clearance, and you say, "Okay, how do we solve for X?" And that's everybody's approach.
And the number of people that became my de facto instructors on the spot because I needed help with something, that was just a very regular thing.
Could you tell us a bit, a little bit about your latest product, Industrial Fueled? Could you tell us a little bit about that and then how that fits into this mindset that you have?
