## Transcript

Since the last time we spoke, you have become an advisor for the Council of Global Change. Robert, explain for me your background and how you came to have this. Absolutely. So, yes, I was appointed as the advisor of innovation, economic growth, as part of the United Nations and the Council of Global Change. You know, through leading a top 50 company on the Inc. 5000 list, I saw a lot of actual gaps in the market. And, you know, I was really inspired to go ahead and address those gaps on the policy level. I've addressed them on an actual technology level, but, you know, a lot of the issues of why businesses don't start or why they fail comes down to a policy level, believe it or not.
