He put me in contact with a lot of people in this room Unfortunately, we lost him in 2020 and we haven't really had a chance to come together since then because of the pandemic But he's a rock star and he's kind of the guy who kicked all of this off So just wanted to give a shout out to Dan. We miss him. He was awesome and with that I'm gonna hand it back over to Oliver so we can get this thing kicked off
