Hi everybody.
Speaker 2:This is Fred Kranz, just one of the big things. Again, I think I know I talk to you a lot, you talk to the team a lot and we're constantly getting feedback and support from our various clients who work with all around the country. And I know you like to talk, fred, but we really need to get other people involved and again, those other people are clients, the folks we work with, we interact with, and we really need to make sure that, again, we want to drive value for our clients but also make sure we're educating and bringing you know the industry, you know waterline up and again, we love hearing from Fred, but we need to hear from other people.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you have anything else. I appreciate that because you know everybody hears from Fred. But I'm like kind of questioning myself like how much do we want to hear about the Cleveland Indians and his dog and everything he has going on? So you know, we really do to your point. I mean I'm excited about the format. Hopefully Fred will stay in his lane and not wear those crazy pants. I mean this is something we really want to move forward with and I think we have a lot of really good people to talk to, so we're can I talk now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, not sure yeah, I'm excited too I'm excited too, you guys.
Speaker 1:I think we have a good time. Uh, we put some faces on some names in the industry and and really see what the supply chain leaders out there are are working with, what they're confronted with. Uh, we see them in one, we see them and from one aspect when we work with them. But just getting their input is going to be great.
Speaker 3:So yeah, the only thing I would add is I you know in addition, and Tom's deep in this, but our team is pretty involved with some pretty great projects that are on the leading edge and to be able to tap into that and share that knowledge with the industry is going to be pretty exciting and I think it would be pretty fruitful to Tom's point, raising the waterline of knowledge and supply chain both from industry and also from their health care partners, and I think the health care folks want to share as well. So this is an exciting time.
Speaker 1:Exactly Yep.
