Hey, Jordan, how you doing?

Hey, Steven. Thanks for having me.

No, worry. Yeah, good. Thanks for joining us.

Maybe you can tell our viewers and listeners a little bit about yourself and what you do and the platform that you run.

Yeah, sure. So for whatever reason, my Siri just activated.

You go to dossier. Today, it's the easiest way to find it.
