 Andrew Bittner Alice Thanks for coming on the show again. It's great to be here again round two, baby Something special came out in round one. It's been growing. Yes We'll have a round one linked in the bio highly recommend watching our first conversation Covered guaranteed clean energy and we covered the birthing of what is now the home now is now the home now Yep, and now is the launch of the home now podcast we have This is the inaugural. Yes, home now podcast coming to you live from Home now and my home Yes you know and it's a launch also of the ecosystem really At the same time as it's the launch of the podcast, which is so exciting Yeah, this has been something we've been building now for five or six years and now to be able to share with everyone the seeds that that have been planted to now see them as solid trees And be able to now jump into the ecosystem of web three And share our ecosystem and how we think we can make a massive world difference is It gets your heart pumping with a little bit of joy when you start to connect all the dots Yep, and so this will be nice to Share the message and the vision of home now Especially using the visuals that we have created and distilled for this podcast as well as for just in general branding and trying to distill down what the core Mechanism is of how this is going to enrich the planet. Yes and It's great that we get to both share this with the home now podcast audience as well as with the simulation podcast audience to cross pollinate also So for those of you that are watching on simulation, I highly recommend checking out all the links in the bio to home now Getting involved in the discord and the community if it resonates and Subscribing to the YouTube channel. We'll have all these action items including an epic NFT drop multiple even and um So sometimes I will be hosting the home dial podcast, which is really cool and in the honor Yeah, and sometimes I'll be hosting it. Yep Sometimes we'll have guest hosts. Sometimes we'll have one of our founders Jonathan Uber jump on and hosting This is a community podcast. It's a community project. So you're gonna see a lot of different faces. Yes Perfect I Actually have a nice bio of Andy that I would like to share with you guys so that you can get a better idea of really his heart and So that you can get where he's coming from so Andrew Bittner has been recognized nationally in the US for his work in streamlining sustainability efforts He's the CEO of guaranteed clean energy Which was recognized as the top clean tech startup in the usa in 2021 For building a fintech platform that streamlines energy assets by making it financially viable for cities and school districts to be sustainable in clean energy Most recently he founded home dial along with jonathan Which unifies the best people ideas systems and funding in sustainability Bring real world assets to web 3 And again, all the links can be found in the bio including this bio that we just read So we'll be talking about next gen community in this episode, which is really at the heart of what the home dial is um I'm finding it important now that we've Known each other for about a year and a half and have been creating together to also Share a brief recap also of like guaranteed clean energy. Yeah I've been here with Andy At his home for about 10 days now on a what we call a heart sprint and It's been incredible how many calls that he's been on with school districts and Really just serving them as they desire to transition to clean energy infrastructures And guaranteed clean energy energy has formulated a powerful mechanism as energy advisors where they can help the school district find the money For the transition to clean energy and so it becomes a win-win-win for the people planet and profit And the school district and the kids especially are so happy in their libraries and gyms and classrooms with the new gen tech It's amazing to be able to share the behind-the-scenes vision of what we really actually get to do for communities because As you were there in the office over the last week and and you got to see the calls Of communities saying you know, hey, we want to do this. We need help And then listing off all the different items that they need in their communities for upgrades Whether it be led lighting insulation windows roofs solar Or any of the above it's so fun to have somebody else see After the meeting when our office goes. Oh, yeah, we're going to be able to get incentives for that school district and put 10 20 million dollars of infrastructure into that community Yeah You know it's old hat for us because we do it every day But what what isn't old hat is when we finish those projects and leave those communities And see the look on everybody's faces where they really got a chance to share their vision and then see it built out from an advisor role Where we helped them build it so they actually are a part of the process It's not a bunch of contractors coming in and then you know when it's done They're they're looking around going. Well, what what did they do? um It's so neat to be able to just Leave a community where they went. I can't believe how much we were able to do In six months in one year. We did 20 years worth of work Um, and I think that that's probably the most rewarding part of the entire process and why we got addicted to serving communities in the first place and then what they taught us has been completely transformative and I think that that has been part of the The molding from guaranteed clean energy as an advisory role To now when I was approached to be part of the home now on the development side Of of how to listen to communities. I said, well, I've been doing it every day for a decade The biggest thing is really just to listen And so let's build out a platform for communities to be able to talk and people to be able to listen but then also uh to be able to build an ecosystem of developers of individuals of activists The whole nine yards and build it from the inside out And I think that's probably what I'm most excited about in the web three space Is that as a private entrepreneur? Everything is always build it from the top down and how do you scale it? How do you sell software? How do you extract the maximum amount of margin? Uh, and this is totally different. It's completely inverting the pyramid It is saying let's build this thing as wide and for everybody as possible and let's have so much value on the base that everybody can participate And it'll actually get bigger as well too Uh, and I think that that's the crazy part is that you're gonna start with a base of tens of thousands of people and instead of that flow Going towards one or two at the top It's going to start with 10 or 12 thousand and then move to 10 or 12 million and then Expand out that way. So this inside out growth that we're Experiencing in web three is just boggling my mind Uh, as somebody who's been in the space And I'm so excited to be able to partner up with so many epic people that are just begging to talk to somebody and also great people that are willing to work together to Build out communities from the inside out as well too. So it is just one of the most exciting times I've ever experienced in my entire life yeah it's really relatable to just envision yourself walking into school and The feeling of having next gen energy assets powering the school for yourself when you were a kid as well as for your kids and their grandkids etc and Then now leveraging this bursting ecosystem of web three to really Um, and all these partners. I'm so excited to unpack home now in more detail Well, and it's always been at a cost, you know walking through or doing big construction has always been sacrifice over here to gain over here And the incredible thing about the abundant nature of sustainability Is that it is a win from day one? It is a win from day one And it is a win from day one And I mean that that it impacts the people better The planet is better off and the cash flow is better off And so you're walking into these brand new school buildings And you're also going. Oh, yeah, by the way, the utility bills are smaller Yeah, it didn't cost the school district any money out of their own pocket. So cool. Just make pause Such an important highly overlooked point Um school district no money out of pocket and utility bills are lower What? Yeah, and the place is squeaky clean brand new Yeah And you get to share with the community The tremendous impact on the planet and teach that In curriculum with the kids. Yes And all of the other impacts that happen alongside of that and it's not just energy I mean, we're talking about really holistic changes Getting into food getting into water Transforming the way that education can function These are all part of the things that we're addressing right now in school districts, but Ultimately home dow came to me and said, hey, we want to do these things And I said, well, I think we can do four or five of them because we do them every day And so we can help But at the end of the day, that's it's this helping mentality of We'll raise our hand and do what we can and and so many other people are raising their hands about what they love to do And I think that's one of the other things that's happening in this web 3 space With home dow is that so many people are doing passion projects rather than checking into a job And hitting the clock from nine to five I mean the people that we've talked to just in the last week There's not a single punch the clock person And everyone's leading with their heart and living in this this passion filled world and We did this week And and this is ever since home dow has happened but week after week after week We're doing two or three months worth of progress In the traditional space simply because the type of people That are in the web 3 space right now. It is So fun to work with such selfless people That are working in service to others beautiful I would love to launch into the first visual And then tell the story from that. It's a good segue It's very easy to talk about all the flowery things that we're talking about Because it's Something that just as soon as you start talking about it your heart just doesn't want to stop talking about sustainability or being part of it But realistically One of the things that excited me and why I wanted to be part of the home dow was that It was way more than an idea And I think that that was One of the deciding factors for me, which was this is Not just a concept This is a platform ready as an ecosystem where we can come in and help There are so many other people That are already here and to be able to be part of a 200 million dollar pipeline of Sustainable projects when you walk in the door Is pretty exciting as somebody who's in the space And I think that that's probably the biggest thing that sets home dow apart Amen It's the people but I mean a lot we're talking to other dows now and The other dows have amazing ideas And they're going to be able to roll those ideas Hopefully into home dow or we're going to help within their project And build things out, but I think the biggest difference As people really start to look underneath the hood on on home dow now that it's out in the public I think they're going to go whoa 200 million dollars in projects and you already have streamlined some of the Largest developers in the in the united states that have already said i'm in I can't wait to help What can I do? You're starting off at 80 done in this project from the gate and then Sitting back and and now making sure that the community experience Uh of who this dow is really for which is for the everyday person The everyday person not just in the united states though that everyday person in uh in europe in Asia africa in australia This is for the people of the planet to be able to take back the ownership of these Uh sustainable assets and that also i mean it's just How can you not be part of the home dow when when that's what the mission was and so I I had to be a part of this Once I found out what it was really all about The most important part of that visual is that bursting pipeline of projects that is already there In comparison to where so many other dows or entrepreneurial endeavors start off Which is usually just at the seed of the idea But then the second core component of that is the partner section Which is that green section that you were also talking about which are the developers. Yes, and it's so beautiful because these engineering procurement construction folk are The ones around the us and around the world that have already Learned the processes about next-gen energy assets and how to implement them in the areas And then there's an inclusive stakeholder model with the home dow that makes it a no-brainer for them to get involved in this pipeline Yes, and it just creates a powerful ecosystem. That's unprecedented I want to ask you a question about the The pipeline of projects. Yes, so how How do how does the pipeline of projects get actualized? So there's 200 million plus in the pipeline of projects So we're talking already let's say schools and municipalities that are ready to come on board for next-gen energy assets Yes So what is needed? I think the easiest way to describe it is to describe what's done in the traditional world And then now what's possible with web 3? And where it's headed, which is also why I couldn't say no to the home dow in the traditional world when we have a large-scale project that would be Freeing a community through energy independence and producing food on site and all these different things in one perspective It's so exciting for that community. The the costs are going to be way lower. They're going to be resilient. They're going to be able to Have all of those assets on site. So in the worst case scenario They're still going to have power and food and communication and education And still be able to function through their community Which is unbelievably powerful and I think we're seeing with What's happening geopolitically how useful that can be As we sit here in a wartime but What happens, unfortunately in the traditional world is we package up those multi-million dollar projects and sell those back to banks And we sell those back to utility companies And so we want to avoid The 200 million dollar pipeline funnel to be centralized Again through banks and the old ways Right that and I think that that's what really touches a lot of people's hearts in this is that that traditional way As much as you're helping decentralized things at a level It then still gets centralized and so being able to then Step into and transcend that model as you step into the web 3 space Now you're talking about the ownership of And being part of the community in these projects being individual people Not being giant corporations not being The banks or the utility companies And although they've been tremendous in helping build Some of the infrastructure and get us to the place that we are I look at those institutions Sometimes the same way I look at coal Coal was amazing industrial revolution. Thank you. Thank you transcend time Absolutely amazing for a very short period of time until we realized that there was a more efficient and effective way renewables across the planet now are almost 50 less expensive to build than a coal power plant And it's clean energy versus coal energy So it's just a complete no-brainer That for me personally Is the same thing about web 3 and being able to decentralize The the ownership and community aspects of these models so that you can decentralize the community from its freedom and sustainability side and then also Have inclusive stakeholders in that community that can also be part of that project And spread that out amongst many many many individuals Uh, which is just amazing. So then the pipeline of projects is in a sense being saved for the proper tokenomics For it to then be deployed with correct. Okay. Yes, the amount of projects that we have is Consistently growing because right now We're not putting any of those projects to work in the old model Uh and ramping up this unbelievable amount of energy that is potential energy Uh to be able to just come in and and possibly become I mean honed out realistically from the lens that I get to see it at Uh Could become the largest utility company in the world And not be a utility company And I think that's one of the most exciting things that that I see but we also Are looking at objectively as engineers and as financial people and as the CEO of a traditional company. I'm going There's just nothing Like I like this that I've ever seen in the traditional space That can exponentially grow this fast but It makes sense In the traditional world you make money based on the amount of value you deliver to the marketplace There are a few outliers Uh that do things differently in that space, but for Most people that start businesses and most entrepreneurs They they are rewarded for providing value to the marketplace and When you get to transcend it and transcend all of the old systems and step into Dows with decentralized autonomous organizations Split that up split up the ownership to everyone Uh, and then simultaneously be able to serve the world The value to the marketplace is just Unbelievable and so, uh, I think that that's exciting and I think for us Uh The cool part is it's not it as much as we love of bitcoin I've been around it for a very long time This is not a project that is selling a token for Hopium in the In the web three industry, right? This is a project that says let's bridge the gap between pure speculation on what Uh A system could look like and let's just bridge it to real projects in real communities that are delivering real value and uh, again, that was just this overarching thing of all of the The developers across the country that are now working together through home now We all just look at each other and go. How do you not be part of this? How do you sit down for an hour learn about this and not Be part of what could be the greatest thing that ever happens to humanity? Uh As we like to say It's impossible to not be involved. It's impossible. Yeah beautiful And I would love to share the ecosystem visual now Look, it's a great segue into that So now you guys will get to see the ecosystem visual Which I feel like does an incredible job at distilling such a Such complexity Just down to Relatability Yeah beautiful And so I think it's also nice for you guys to If you would like to you can visit The home dow.com And you can actually see the visual there on the website And You can zoom into it as you as you'd like to there and Be able to read it more easily and follow along more easily so We can begin With the we've conveniently numbered We've created a trail for you to follow with the numbers in this loop Yes so We've started with zero In traditional format here of Of some of the deeper understandings that we're all going to come back to and start at zero but the main Starting point for a community project is its community And so the home token itself is all community oriented It's An opportunity for everyone to become involved We are going to have an nft launch That is going to be the first availability to have access to those home tokens but More importantly, you've got to see the art that is being created We are working with a truly phenomenally gifted uh artist And we're going to put some of her work up on our twitter and start sharing some of that And so the artwork itself is so connected to this mission We're going to be honoring 11 of the great people in the history of humanity to get us to the point of sustainability and so That'll be fun And then I think there'll be some some good arguments on our discord about a lot of the people that we left off like I can't believe we left off buckminster fuller One of my favorites I I lost the battle, but this is part of dowes. This is part of voting. It's fun But ultimately the community I think is the big key When it comes to starting this project and the community is all about Being able to share that governance and then be able to share the impact on everything uh I learned a long time ago when I did my first project for a school That doing a project and listening to your client is totally different than doing a project And getting done with your project Because we used to do specialized engineering and the lighting projects and sustainability projects for fortune 500 companies and larger entities And it was sterile. You do your work. You do it fast. You do it right Uh, and then you get paid and you get out of there and that's the end of it and you go do it again Fortune 500 companies are not teaching you They're not teaching you how they Want it to be they're not teaching you the most efficient and effective methods for their Facilities they want you in out and everything's proprietary With a school district or a city you come in and and You're building a project for them and their community is telling you what they want and so there's this constant feedback loop that is nine 10 11 12 13 opportunities in each project of Feasibility, this is what the community wants feasibility. This is what the community wants This is how it works from the financial side. This is how it works for the people This is how it works for the planet and we learned so many things And that's what happens in the community element of the home now And so i'm so stoked to be able to do Just imagine what ideas are going to come through our community And how many people are going to Or have had the best idea for 10 years and haven't been able to do it because they just Haven't had a place that they knew they could trust to bring good ideas And and know that it would go to the world and not be In a position where it was immediately going to get swept under the rug or bought by a large company and buried All of that is completely a new opportunity for the world to be able to Share something like this and be able to take that idea and put it under the blockchain so that it never leaves Uh, it is never hidden is a really cool concept Uh, so that's just one of the amazing elements of community We're also talking to Some people last night in california that are developing new ways of governance Uh through different nft ways of rewarding participation And some of the most innovative ways that to me are simply As close to being able to rewrite the us constitution As i've ever seen And being able to liberate and free people but also share opportunities for governance And so that's a huge part of community as well that naturally out of this Sustainability mission We're going to also uncover some of the other most amazing ways to serve communities Uh, and so we're talking a lot about community because it's the most important one We'll go through the other ones pretty quick I really like how you highlighted that in all of the different areas of the earth There will be a unique creative Roaring of the community. Yes, and that's a very important part. It's like what does the grass roots Want in each area of earth? Yes, because it's going to be a color palette in each one of those areas And it's very important to offer the big buffet of clean energy food water internet education healthcare housing and then From that palette they can take catering catering to yeah, we're not dropping an american buffet on africa We are going to cater to what the community wants And that is how you develop a real impact like for just as a great example We were talking today about A high school that is actually very interested in the agricultural permacultural component For teaching their kids and for having food forest local Right there. Yes. And so that Is very unique to that school. Yes, right to that community And this is just an example of a unique Component that can then be applied to what the community wants through this dowel mechanism And what the community wants and we're going to design a different permaculture in Arkansas Than we are in michigan correct because you have the climate zones. You have so many variables And let's let's hit the visual again because we Okay, so um one more thing i'd like to mention about the visual is that you'll see that there are The four in addition to the trail of numbers that we've Left Created There are four primary components starting with the treasury The developers the projects and the next gen assets And then the loop and so Keep in mind those four primary enlarged components and then the The number system that loops you around Great, so we started with home token zero at the top Community shared account used to build ecosystem discounts and sent to strategic alignments voting power the treasury itself being funding community governance Yes, and so then what happens in the application You have a million dollar solar array for community partners either a school a municipality hospital Thinking these large community impacts and the strategic d5 funding. So how would this work? Yes So, you know the home token is there to be able to Talk about sustainability make sure we get the feedback. It's really that utility side of the Web 3 world that community is built on and then you've got the other side Of the process which is The actual building of the infrastructures themselves And so there's a separate token for that we call it the utility you And that's because it's designed for the individual person to be able to be part of that process and so That token will launch in the future once we address all of the legal standpoints that we need to address But right now the most important thing is that we have a large enough community That we can legitimize our governor governance principles make sure we have a large enough community to do voting I do not want to be the only voice In these things I've seen how that goes wrong and in so many other projects. Unfortunately, we already have a very large development team That that has that impact, but then what it really gets down to is let's build some projects in some communities So number one the the application And I I think in this visual the best thing that we did here is just say look Let's assume a million dollar solar array being built for a community partner a community partner a school district a city a hospital just think A large community that can receive a big time Process here and we're using a solar array because I think clean energy is a great analogy For sustainability, but it's not just energy. We are talking about food. We are talking about housing. We're talking about clean water So many other different aspects of this piece, but again solar arrays are a great easy thing to Understand and so if you're going to build a million dollar solar array No different than purchasing a house. There is a down payment when you're building infrastructure and so one of the things we can do is tap into the Treasury of those utility assets To be able to afford to get the project going and this is one of the biggest issues right now in the sustainability world Is coming up with that upfront capital to build projects The traditional world doesn't want to do it. They consider it A higher risk type of scenario Because they don't understand it and Anyone who doesn't have an understanding of thing Something is going to feel as though it's a higher risk reality is different from Perception and so the beautiful thing is that it's an opportunity for The doubt to step in and be able to help strategic partners like developers solve their number one issue in funding The other side to it is defi is Unbelievable resource in this Transcended world of web 3 and crypto and so We can also leverage defi platforms to be able to get loans to do the back half of projects which are Tremendously helpful and not having to spend all your capital at first Because these assets Like a solar array produce revenue And the revenue that they produce is significantly larger than The loan payment on the seven hundred thousand dollar Development cost that you're taking the loan on so On a million dollar project you may have a loan for $50,000 a year to pay back principal But your revenue may be 60 70 80 90 thousand dollars a year And so it's a no-brainer to build these projects and at the end of the day it The developers don't want to be a bank and a funding company And all of these other things They want to build sustainable projects and engineers and construction people are very good at engineering and construction Give them a holistic Oh now you have to be a bank in a credit union and do all these other things and it becomes very cumbersome and very difficult to Take on that opportunity and manage millions and millions and millions of dollars. And so that's what this Homed-out ecosystem does is it allows everyone to be Who they want to be in sustainability if you're a fantastic Uh developer come on in if you're an amazing electrician come on in we need you You know if you're a school district and you want to go sustainable come on in We want to build sustainable assets for you. And so wherever you find yourself in this in this world There's a place for you in in home Dow And so I think that's probably the most exciting part for the developers Once they get underneath the hood and have been looking at this And before we continue on to developers I really want to highlight the point that has been made in this Um top right corner that we're in with the application and the strategic defi funding which is that the primary question that's asked is how To pay for the one million dollar solar array This is the primary question right how to pay for the next gen asset, right? This is the primary question and you addressed it and I feel it's important to just highlight it. Sure. Um, which is that the loan Is 50,000 or so Dollars a month as just an example or a year. Sorry a year. Whatever it may be whatever it may be but just to say that that's then Able to be paid at the principal is able to be paid at 60 70 80 90 thousand dollars a year They because instead of taking the energy from the utility companies electricity natural gas water Yes, instead of taking that from them now It's We have solar array or wind or chp Here. Yes at school or municipality hospital, etc And Then The money that's usually paid to the utility. Yes Is paid at which we'll get to at 10 less Then what it used to be to the Dow itself. Yes. Okay. That's the core Part that then pays off. So the the questions usually that are roaring at this part is where do you how? What's the how's the school come up with a million dollars to build a project and and that's what this solves And that's one of the functions of this dow is the dow is saying We'll get the million dollars for you And help you build this And then we're going to help the developer have that capital upfront to be able to start the construction and buy the solar panels and fill out all of the Forms and go through and a lot of people don't realize you have to pay on a million dollar project Sometimes you have to pay 80 to 100 thousand dollars Just to get the project paperwork started to get it approved through code And sometimes through those centralized utility companies To make sure that it's safe to go in that community and there's a lot of good reasons for those costs as well Environmental studies and other things but they have to be done up front and again That's a barrier that we wanted to eliminate so that this process this ecosystem Can be completely streamlined for the community for the developer for the home dow And so that the people can then receive those benefits because ultimately the beautiful thing is that instead of the school district paying their utility bill every year For that to that centralized utility company and that money being gone We're presenting a position where that school district could literally pay itself if they were Token holders and that is an unbelievable concept when you let that sink in And so that's where we we really enjoy Come on in Come on in once you take it out of that world and transcend it You really start to see why The world is going to change in such a beautiful way And I think that's a lot of of what the developers are perfect experiencing now as well too because If you're a sustainability developer out there and you're hearing this I want you to know That you are going to receive streamlined funding With speed and certainty And if that doesn't get you excited as a developer then you haven't been doing enough business Because that is what the the developers need they need speed and certainty and they need to be able to have that streamlined funding process because there's so many developers right now That are have amazing projects But because of the how slow the system is it takes them a year and in two months to go through And time is money Time is money if we can get this done in two months rather than a year in two months That's a game changer And that's another thing that the homedown ecosystem does for developers. So that knowledge come on in so good The best practice is so good cool And then when it comes to that implementation There are huge advantages then for developers to not only have the utility token side but to be part of the community and so Home tokens and being able to have that feedback on how to streamline processes How to govern ourselves how to build and where to put things is a massive part of this and You know, I think all the developers are realizing they can join What will be the largest non utility company in the world By joining in as part of the homedown token. So It it naturally incentivizes everybody in the ecosystem for the best designs products contractors The installations to be the cleanest and fastest and then overall optimization And it just gets better and better and better the more projects that happen because it's all happening in a sharing ecosystem versus a Proprietary patent everything lock it in a box and don't tell anybody what we're doing type of system Love that And out of that comes amazing projects. Yes amazing amazing projects. And so That's where uh, again, I think the homedown That's what hooked me it was This group of individuals is not starting from scratch They are starting with all of this potential energy of of 200 200 million and signed projects from real communities and cities and school districts across the country To be able to make a difference and the key is though those community partners will pay less They will have clean energy They will have sustainability pieces and they will be that beacon That embodies sustainability in that community Their kids at the school are going to be learning about sustainability Because the solar panels on the roof They're going to be learning about healthy food because the tomatoes are right outside the door Uh, you just can't miss it and That's a big part of what's been missing you walk into a school 10 years ago and It's a brick building with flickering fluorescent lights and uh, their boxes and the The grass may be mowed, but that's about it for permaculture and uh The world that will exist because of what the homedown is doing and so many other people in the ecosystem Uh are going to be able to bring you're talking about community centers being utopias Is the closest thing I can think of it. I mean imagine 20 years from now The utopia that would be if a school district had all of its food produced on site It had infrastructure for clean water on site. It had infrastructure for clean Renewable energy on site You're talking about game changer types of opportunities and That is what can happen today And I think that's the other cool part. It's not crypto where it's like just You know buy a magic internet money token And see what happens By this dog coin This is saying It's real These are real projects This is just leveraging the efficiency of community and the efficiency of the blockchain for actual use cases And that is the most powerful thing and I think that's going to be the next big movement in Uh, the whole crypto sphere is use cases Uh of these blockchains and we we we are going to be leading the charge With one of the most exciting use cases on the planet sustainable assets And so that's what really comes into play here with these next gen assets and Uh as much as we are excited about bringing on developers who have interesting ideas There's also this idea of community incubator Within the home token ecosystem. And so you're talking about people that Have an amazing idea having a place to launch it and having mentors here in the community to ask questions and grow and build things I've been an entrepreneur in the energy space for 12 years You want access to me come to the home dow discord? I'm right there for you And there's 20 other guys just like me Can't wait to help you. Yes And that's what this is all about Uh inventors Used to you know, have to hide all their stuff and trying to not trusting the patent office and not trusting That if they had some game changer world innovation They had nowhere that they really felt like they could be trusted to bring it to the world Talk about an innovation That is the home dow as well. So whether you're a startup an innovator You're an activist and you just want to go out and you wanted to Share the mission that this is the only planet that we have there is no planet b Come to the home dow.
