Okay. What's up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew.

Coming to you with another episode of The Founders Journal. It is Tuesday, May 26, 9.37 PM. This is a late one. But as always, this is my daily

mic unfiltered uncensored especially today kind of going off the cuff. I'll be honest I didn't get

15 or 30 minutes to prep. I'm mentally roasted. I did not get a minute to think. I had to have gotten a lot of stuff done because I had all these

calls, all these meetings and Instagram Live, a presentation, but this is literally the
