Hey guys, it's Meb here. There's no podcast today, but I would like to share a short personal message.

It's with a very heavy heart that we share the sad news that our Cambry family lost its co-founder,

Eric Richardson, this past week to an unexpected and tragic heart attack.

The shocking event has been devastating to our small family and to all who loved ER,

also known as Big Daddy, which is everyone he ever met.

Eric was so much more than a business partner to the Cambria team.

He was also a mentor, a father figure, and a best friend.

Cambry would never exist if not for Eric's many years of devotion and commitment to the Cambria team and to all of our investors.

Not many CEOs would willingly sacrifice and choose to forego a salary for the first six years while starting a company.

But that generosity and devotion are not a surprise to those

that knew Eric closely.

He was truly larger than life.

While it fills us with great sadness that he will not be around to witness the next stages of

growth for the company he helped create.

We do feel some happiness and it warms my heart knowing he was able to celebrate or reaching

the 1 billion assets under management milestone in the past year.

I will be stepping into the position of CEO and will be proud to assume those leadership

responsibilities as our entire LA crew is committed to preserving Eric's legacy and continuing

to build a world-class investment firm.

Our attention and support are with Eric's family and loved ones during this impossibly

painful time.

Eric was always a big animal lover, so if you'd like to donate in his honor, we'll add a link in the show notes for a charity that was very meaningful to him.
