Uh, this last part that we, we have for these last few minutes is what we call the Kitchen Table.
Um, and that's just, uh, where the floor is yours.
I mean, if there's anybody you wanted to shout out, any trainings that you got coming up that you'd like to shout out, um, any last minute things that you would like to share with everybody who's listening and watching, uh, it's all, all yours.
