Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

For again, it's episode I wanted to share a quick message from Lincoln Network, the Real

Limons podcast sponsor. Lincoln Network's annual conference reboot is going to happen in Miami

on October 13th. It's going to explore technology, culture, and politics. We'll be here from

past Realignment guests, including David Sacks, Mike Salana, Antonio Garcia Martinez, Jimmy

Sony, and other tech, political, and culture experts. They're going to discuss some of the

his journey, investing in these companies, and learning about this process. And of course,

if anything sticks out to you particularly, we'd love you to go to Realignment.supercast.com

to do every single day when we do this show. Hope you all enjoy it. Steve Case, welcome to the
