Yancey I always knew you had it, but you just knocked it out of the park with this talk, and then with this piece. So much talent, such a good person.

I'm so proud to be your dad.

Ah, I felt emotional reading this, Yancey!

Honestly pretty comforting and inspirational to hear, despite all your brilliant ideas and experience in entrepreneurial work, you feel the way I would have if ever faced with such an opportunity.

Looking forward to the video. :) Thanks for sharing.
