    I am thankful for your vision, your character, and your hard work Matt.

    Setting aside these assets in a “seed bank” is simply the latest fruit of your healthy roots.

    All the best to you and your teams.

    My favorite part: that Jane, while introducing it at #wcbos said it was put in place in case you got hit by a bus [paraphrased]

      Yep in software it’s known as the bus factor:

      The Foundation is the first step to making that better, but right now it’s still effectively “one” and I don’t know how much time I’ll have to work on that in the short-term as it also involves lots of estate stuff, so I’ll keep looking both ways when I cross the street.

    Great Matt

    I love it. So exciting. I remember our conversation about this about a year ago. But don’t get all cocky now when you’re crossing the street! (Darn it, you already made that joke. Whatever, it’s staying.)
