I deeply appreciate your candid episode here. Authentic communication is so crucial to our ability to continue to build out this ecosystem correctly. Keep up the fantastic work, brother! Any frustrations I've aired have never been directed toward you, by the way. We are at the "hard times create strong men" part of the cycle, and sometimes when it feels like you're under attack you might just be under the tremendous heat and pressure that creates diamonds.

I'm genuinely grateful for your presence and contributions to this space. Keep at it, the more we communicate like this the clearer the picture will become.
