  • Great conversations

    It’s a privilege to listen in on the two of you, but I have one critique, respectfully. A few minutes devoted to discussing the Knubia platform, separate from the broader conversation, could be more effective than weaving it throughout. The discussions would be stronger for it, and I think a more people would join as a result.
