He's at Omni, but he, I mean, literally helped build Looker. Over almost a decade, seven or eight years,

and Looker is, I mean, has had a huge impact in multiple ways on the data industry, from analytics to architecture to modeling. It has spawned entirely new categories of companies. that he is building his new company on, right? Because, I mean, Looker's still a great tool, right? So the people who built Looker, like, what are they trying to build? I think that's what I want to figure out. How about you? Okay, I'm very interested to see how someone who is involved in such a successful product and company starts another company and another product in the same industry.

So I want to learn about that. Like what's why and how. So I don't know. I think it's going to be super, super interesting to have this conversation with you. Yeah, I agree. All right.
