Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

And I feel like it is my personal responsibility if I'm going to have a platform that we are going to deliver things that you may not know.

So over the next couple of days, we're going to sit with and enjoy and

understand and learn about people who you should know. They should be household names, but they're

not. So I'm calling this my patent series, people who've invented things, who've had patents

And so I'm just grateful that we're doing these patent series,

these inventor series, with you, Chautavia S. Squire Johnson. Thank you. Well, thank you. Thank you so

much for the work. Thank you for educating people, because as we see, we can't rely on anybody else to educate

us but ourselves. So I appreciate you picking up the baton and doing that, Karen. You are changing

people's lives and I'm just happy to be along for the journey. Listen, if one person watching this,
