Hi, I'm Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3, and if I were going to travel cross-country in a subcompact car with 3 other people, they'd have to be really short because it's not a very big car. So I'm going to pick 3 really short people. We're going to start off with Robert Reich, economist, brilliant guy, teacher at UCal. I think he'd be great to listen to as we drive across the country. Second guy, also a short guy, Woody Allen, very funny. I'd like to hear what he has to say about driving through the mountains of Colorado. And finally, my third guy, and because you didn't say living or dead, I'm gonna pick a dead guy, Napoleon, 'cause I think Napoleon would be great to tell me about how he planned to invade Kansas. So there we go, three little guys to travel cross-country in, say, a Ford Fiesta. Uh, if it was a Hummer, it'd be entirely different, but it's not. It's a subcompact. Second, what do I wanna get out of the conference? Well, I wanna figure out how to make more money for Revision3 and YouTube. I wanna figure out how to find more people to watch our great shows. And then finally, I want to learn how to be the best partner we can be for YouTube and Revision3. And finally, a party trick. I'm actually not very talented. The only thing I know how to do, and I don't know if I would do this at a party, but twirl a Frisbee on my finger. Check it out. There we go. Oh, let's try that again over here. There, that's better. See? Look, take that to your party.
