One of the biggest hacks that we've had is when I can actually just get on the phone and make sure that I'm rolling calls with our team customers, with clients, with buyers, with sellers. That has been the most valuable part of probably every single week that I have.

Yeah, absolutely. It's always exciting to get the opportunity to talk shop, so to speak. And I love all the awesome things that you're doing in your shop, so to speak. And, look at super excited about diving a little bit deeper. But, before we do that, I want to, of course, read a little bit more about Alex so you can hear about all the awesome things that he's working on. Alex is CEO and co-founder of Mickey, a commodity company focused on modernizing global trade by making it easier for small to midsize suppliers to export products globally.
He, along with his co-founder Jesse Solomon, set out to launch a platform with the goal of wiping out the global trade crisis. Today, Mickey is modernizing the way raw materials and commodities are sourced and exported out of the United States. In his role, Alex is helping to grow the future of Mickey with fundraising, recruiting top talent in the industry, and overseeing the operations of the company.
Prior to co-founding Mickey, Alex served as a Vice President at Endeavor, building media properties with companies such as Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, and Paramount Pictures. In this role, Alex was responsible for the build-out of Endeavor Content Live, the organization's live production arm founded in 2018.
