So, don't get killed by information and stay focused. You, as well as a number of other management teams, have the unique opportunity to show you can do better than we did in recent years. All your private financial and marketing information will not visible to other teams. I will surely keep an eye on you, through social media, the coaches etc. for I am still an active member of the Board of Directors.
