Hello everyone, so I'm talking today with Derek Krifeldt, who is CEO of the State Financial

0:21.6

Officers Foundation, and normally perhaps under normal conditions that might not be

0:28.3

an, um, something notable for all concerned, but in the crazy upside down clown world that we

0:34.5

all currently inhabit, this has become incredibly relevant. So I met Derek a couple of days ago,

0:39.8

although I've been retweeting a lot of what he's been putting out on Twitter for quite a while,

0:44.5
