Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes for Wednesday, June 15th. It's early here in El Salvador, and we were up pretty late last night from our game, from coming back to the hotel, late dinner, packing things up, getting it on the truck, and now turning around to, to get on a plane here pretty early. But this ends, this ends kind of our 20-day trip. 4 games, 2 wins, 2 ties, including a pretty dramatic tie last night in all of its CONCACAF glory. But it's been a great trip all around. We had a staff meeting yesterday to kind of break down the camp. You know, did we meet our objectives and how can we get better? And the cool thing is, is that one of the, one of the takeaways, one of the main takeaways from, from the camp and from the group Yeah. Is just sort of how we are sort of living our values, right? We're living our values as a group. And we had a few outside people who were with us the entire time who were shooting kind of, you know, a behind-the-scenes documentary. And the guy spoke up in our staff meeting yesterday and just said how, like, being able to be a part of this group, you know, kind of from the outside, and experience it from the inside, just how inclusive and how authentic everybody is in sort of living our mission and living our values. He said having followed a lot of teams and done a lot of stuff, he said it was really special to be a part of. So that was great. That was great feedback to see that we have a very clear idea, intention of who we want to be, And to get some, you know, a little bit of validation from the outside that, yeah, you guys are doing it, right? You're doing it. And that, you know, of course we're trying to get better. But I think just that idea of authenticity and inclusivity are just super important. They're super important to me and they're super important to us as a team. You know, when I think of inclusive, I think of just including, right? I am including others. And obviously authentic for me means sort of living the true, your true self. And so for you today, your moment of yes, what does it look like for you to be more inclusive, to be more authentic today? And how might that show up? So noodle on that. That's your moment of yes for today, everybody. See you on Friday when I'm stateside. Have an awesome, awesome day. Bye.
