All right, everybody, welcome back to the Rel To Podcast. We have been really lucky recently with the suite of guests. And I think a lot of excitement today. We've been blessed to have Geoff Tokager join us today. Super interesting background and a lot of experience kind of navigating the gap between public sector, national security, and private sector. So Geoff, welcome aboard. Glad to have you with us.
