All right everybody, I am back in Japan for Founder University Japan, which is our second cohort, and I'm here with a live audience which you're going to hear roar and clapping right now. And then I'm going to teach you guys how to round out the clap. This is very important. You're going to clap like crazy, like you won the lottery, but then I'm going to go. And as it comes down, boom, nice and sharp, you stop.

Okay, we'll try it one more time. I'm here with a live studio audience in Tokyo. Could be better. Let's try one more time. I'm live with the studio audience here in Tokyo.
