Adi, today we are going to talk about virtual communication, text. email, Slack, Team, Zoom, this platform that we're on right now called Squadcast. I know that I mostly connect with colleagues and authors and PR people and everyone else I need to talk to for work through these types of channels much more often than face-to-face, even when I'm in the office. How about you? Yeah, no, I agree.

I I I don't have a lot of face-to-face meetings now. I'm not proud of that, but I think that's true. I don't I don't even have many phone calls now. I see people walking around in intense phone conversations with people and I think there aren't a lot of people that I have that even that kind of relationship with.
