What's happening? So glad to be here. Thank you for coming. So Marcus, first of all, let's get down to the new gritty. What was it like working for Beyonce?

4:00.0

Okay. Okay. Oh, that's awesome. So I guess what does that? What does that? So I know for Beyonce, it looked like you know you did her social media strategy.
