What an honor to be here. Thank you for hosting us, Forbes, and welcome. This will be put out as the all-in interview, so I'm really excited to share this conversation with everyone on the world on the internet and to get some time with Charles Koch, Chase Koch. Chase and I have known each other since 2013 when we overlapped in the agriculture industry, got to know each other, we've been business partners. And Charles and I have gotten to know each other a few times over the years, but I'm really excited for this conversation tonight.
