This is fun. I love, I love not having to press all the buttons, you know, you just show up and that's you guys. You're the talent today. Lean back and just.
So, so Jeff, tell us about, you know, how did you end up in social media? I know you've been in it for, for quite a while. T tell us the Jeff C's story. Cause it probably could be a movie or even a book if it isn't already. Uh, yeah. And Brad Pitt should be play me. I think so. No. So the funny thing is that Jim and I, and Jim and I met over here at Google plus that's where it all.
Started for me, actually, what I did is I had this little, um, like digital agency here in Longview. I did, you know, commercials. I got into video when nonlinear editing systems first came out like Adobe premier, which I've been using since it came out. Um, and I started doing the social media thing to start telling my clients they needed to do it.
And I'm like, well, I better do it too. Started writing a blog. And I wrote this blog called manly Pinterest tips. Number one, where it was, uh, my daughter and I sharing a secret board.

Well, and I can tell you, Chris, one of the most eye-opening things to me, and this was probably, I think it was 2017, uh, when Jeff was speaking and it's like, I learned all this stuff about fonts and colors.
And as like, it was like mind blowing to me because, you know, I had just started in social media and, you know, I was like, wow, I'm thinking way too simple. But. You know, Jeff, I know that's something I'll never forget. And of course, you know, you, I think you were also even, uh, doing something with, uh, Rebecca as well.
And, uh, and yeah, and then we've, uh, had a chance, you know, it was unfortunate this past year. We didn't get to hang out in, uh, San Diego, but it's always, it's always been fun to get to, to hang out with you and Eric and some of t...
