Wailin, I have a confession to make.

I almost missed the publication of the beige book.

Oh, well, Robert, you are in the circle of trust here, so you can tell us what

happened. So I normally have the beige book on my calendar. I set aside the whole day to read

the report, brew a pot of tea. I make a whole thing out of it. But there has been so much economic

news lately. Tariffs on, tariffs off, stock market red, stock market green, that I somehow overlooked

that the Federal Reserve

had put out its most recent report of economic conditions across the United States.

It's like everything in life, right? The loud, bright things grab your attention. But the

beige, it's quietly waiting for you when you need it. You could almost say that it deserves an award.

It's the Bezzi Awards. Our eight times a year salute to the art and science of telling stories

about the economy. I'm Robert Smith. And I'm Waylon Wong. It may not flash red or green, but the

beige book abides. On this edition of the Bezhi Awards, we find that just as the U.S. is warming into springtime, an economic freeze is falling over the land.

Bundle up. Baby, it's cold outside. After the break.

Work management platforms.

Red tape, endless adoption time, IT bottlenecks.

And after all that, nobody really uses them.

But what if you didn't hate your work platform?

What if you actually loved it?

Monday.com work management platform is different.
