As I interviewed four months ago, now that time there's so much excitement, 800,000, all the rest of it, it's been rocky since. Let's just, let's just grasp it head on. What's your analysis? There's been a bumpy road. There's been a lot of that we all agree. Why is it be, what's the issue? What's the main, how do you sum up what's actually? I think we should have been more specific and clearer on the launch, on the arrangements for it.

It was a shame that there were in effect, how should I put it, premature launches made and

We have now, I think, got to a very good place. We've now got the conference

going on here, which is where we are at the moment. And we've got rapidly rising well over

And before, I mean, as I was talking about positive stuff as We are to go talk more about that because it's important. I want to talk about that.

But so Zard Sultana, let's just talk about this head on.

She did the launch of the party, and that, you know, which you didn't agree to.

And then she launched a membership portal.

That caused this big, public, you know, flory. Did that, I mean, isn't that

what's kind of hugely damaged the project, those unilateral decisions? That was, that was a

problem. Absolutely, you're quite correct. I like to think we've now got past and beyond that,

and I think it was unfortunate to put it mildly but
