Hey guys, it's Paul Woodley here, and I just wanted to wish everyone a safe day today. Here I am, it's day 1 of my remote work at home, and I just got done with my team meeting. So this is really just a test. You know, I haven't had an opportunity to do a live stream before on YouTube. I've done many, many videos, all doctored up and so forth, but I thought I would just take this opportunity to wish everyone well, and hopefully you will have the opportunity to today and this week and stay safe. I really think that, um, just kind of like what the president said and the government is saying, I really believe that these next couple weeks we're going to really hit the storm pretty hard. Um, and so what I'm planning on doing with my channel here— I've had this channel for years, and I'm going to really try to contribute and add some value to those that know me, those that follow me, especially those that are in the hotel area and in a hotel scene. I know that a lot of my brothers and sisters in the hospitality industry have been affected pretty badly this last couple of weeks. As you know, you've seen the, the Seen the news, a lot of hotels are having to furlough their employees, and many hotels, even my own, I've had to suspend operations just because it just was not sustainable anymore. So I'm going to make this real quick this first time here, but as we move forward on this journey together, I hope I can add some, some value, and hopefully everyone will contribute. And, and yeah, we'll get through this together and we'll grow together, Lord willing. So y'all have a great day. I'll talk to you later.
