If you're an introvert or if you're shy and you don't like talking with people, you're still going to ultimately have to figure out a way to talk one on one with somebody, but you're going to have to continue to talk one on one with people, which means that you can network through like LinkedIn, go find somebody at the job that you want to apply for, ask them to have a quick chat, get to know the company. You're going to want to do any type of, say, a lunch meetup. You can do a virtual meetup online, but the networking doesn't have to be. Go into an event where there's a crowd of people. I think any other type of meetup or networking type of event you can continue to do and go try to find different local social groups, go and find communities that are in the area that you like. If it's marketing, go find a marketing group. If it's technology, go find a technology group. If it's an AI, go find an AI group, whatever that might be, go find a group and engage with that group. Get to know them. There's a lot of online communities now with technology like Discord. You can go find a Discord channel that has a group of people in it that you can communicate with or you can find, you know, not just LinkedIn, but Facebook groups, meetup groups. All of it is online. And I would recommend exploring all of those different opportunities to really connect with somebody and to make it interesting. Chris, thanks so much for carrying on. Really appreciate your time, your generosity with your ideas and your experiences today. Any other final word on your newest venture? Because I know a lot of our viewers have said, you know, we need more of Chris. He seems to have his finger on the pulse of everything important going on. Any final words on your new venture? Yeah, Muddy Robot. Muddy. Representing the joys of playing as a, as a kid in the mud. And I wanted to really focus on bringing back that joy of play in video games, especially in an industry that is really being fueled also by business and greed, unfortunately. And then the robot is the future. It's the innovation and the opportunity. So despite all of my complaints about AI, today we are focused on a huge AI platform that we're building for the video game space that I really think is going to not just change how we play games, but also has some great application for other types of businesses, such as retail, to also further involve how we look at consumers. So if you think about AI, the problems with AI is things like empathy and understanding aspirations? Well, I'm directly trying to build a way to implement behaviors and emotions and personality traits to generate behavioral responses through AI And I think it's going to be fascinating if we can pull it off.
