So Weiss, welcome to the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Thank you, Patrick. It's an honor to be here, privilege to enter the world of monkeys and bananas.

It'd be great if you could just give the listeners a short summary of your bio.

Sure, Patrick. Well, I've been in the last 22, 23 years, Barclays Capital, J.P. Morgan,

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, 14 of those years at J.P. Morgan. And I just recently left the industry to kind of start my own initiative.

All those lessons learned, and there's so much of it with regards to leadership.

You know, I worked in the HR a little bit.

I worked obviously in the business majority of the time.

But I think I have a good understanding of sort of the infrastructure of these institutions,

kind of how they work.

And I want to add value and bring value to our next generation, I think are so talented and potentially a little misunderstood and I'm trying to sort of bridge those gaps also generationally

with sort of a more strategic initiative that I'm working on but in the end I just want to bring

value to our next generation you guys have a great audience so that's where they're listening

they're listening right now so that that's great. Thank you for taking
