This transcript excerpt captures the opening voice-check for a live event: Mission Control (Houston) calls the International Space Station to confirm readiness, and Simon Sinek is asked to perform a voice check. The exchange establishes participants (Houston/Mission Control, Station/ISS, and Simon Sinek) and event readiness.

Station, this is Houston. Are you ready for the event?
Houston? Station, I am ready for the event.
Simon Sinek, this is Mission Control, Houston. Please call station for a voice check.
Station, this is Simon Sinek. How do you hear me? Simon, this is station. I hear you loud and clear. Welcome. It's good to see you. Johnny, thanks for taking the time to do this. Oh, anytime. I've been looking forward to this, Simon. I think we're going to have a great conversation.
