The DEC Educational Webinar Series Ep3: Anthony Trippe, Patinformatics

[Music] [Music] 00:38
welcome to another episode of the deck
00:42
educational webinar series I’m Chaz
00:45
foretell and I’ll be your host today we
00:48
have two wonderful guests with us today
00:50
to share one of them happens to be one
00:53
of the older tenants and I mean by older
00:56
one of the longer-lasting businesses
00:58
here at the Dublin entrepreneurial
01:00
Center and then in coincidence we have
01:03
the newest business at the deck with us
01:06
today
01:07
I’d like to go ahead and introduce mr.
01:10
Anthony or Tony trippy today Tony is
01:15
managing director of Patton for Maddox
01:18
LLC which is an advisory firm
01:21
specializing in patan analytics and
01:24
landscaping to support decision making
01:26
for technology-based businesses thank
01:30
you so much for being with us today Tony
01:32
how are you doing I’m doing great thank
01:35
you it’s a real pleasure to be able to
01:37
speak with everybody here at the deck
01:38
and the audience that will be hearing
01:41
this on other channels
01:43
well let’s pleasure to see you here and
01:46
thank you very much for being one of our
01:50
longer standing tenants here at the deck
01:52
and certainly one that has been very
01:56
very beneficial to many of our
01:58
businesses here in providing some
02:00
excellent guidance and support and
02:02
mentoring over the over the years – Tony
02:05
so we really appreciate you being here
02:07
and I think once the audience here ends
02:11
what you do they’re gonna want to learn
02:13
more about you and also catch up on some
02:16
reading that you’re providing yeah you
02:19
know it’s really been exciting to be
02:22
part of the deck for so long I think I
02:25
was three months after the deck started
02:27
I got an office was actually right next
02:29
to Chaz’s originally and yeah watching
02:32
the place change and develop and change
02:35
sites and all the people that have
02:38
helped my business along the way it’s
02:40
been an exciting ride and I owe a lot to
02:43
the deck
02:44
me for my business being the success it
02:46
is today well Tony we appreciate that
02:50
and we wanted to talk with you today
02:52
about a real honor that you have
02:55
received and your experience and your
02:58
knowledge and you’ve been recently asked
03:02
to be a regular contributor on tell us a
03:04
little bit about that yeah so this story
03:10
went that that I was looking for a new
03:14
example case study marketing piece to
03:17
talk a little bit about what I do in my
03:19
company what my business is and how I
03:22
help organizations so I was looking at
03:25
quantum computing and I was reading an
03:27
article where they were talking about
03:29
how that was an emerging technology and
03:31
I thought that was really really
03:32
interesting and nobody had yet done any
03:35
real research on what the patent
03:38
landscape on quantum computing was and
03:41
so I began together and as it came
03:44
together it generated a lot of
03:47
excitement a lot of interest it was
03:49
written up and wired it was written up
03:51
in the Washington Post
03:53
there was a graphic of some of the wade
03:55
in The Wall Street Journal and in
04:00
Technology Review magazine from MIT and
04:03
in the editor the person who wrote the
04:05
story that went into MIT technology
04:07
review a gentleman by the name of Martin
04:09
Geils approached me about the Forbes
04:12
opportunity he liked what I wrote he
04:15
liked the way I presented the patent
04:18
related information he liked my thoughts
04:20
on innovation and asked if I would be
04:24
interested in becoming a contributor to
04:26
Forbes writing specifically on
04:28
innovation technology development and
04:31
patents and I’d read a number of
04:34
articles in Forbes over the years and
04:36
and so when given that opportunity I was
04:39
very very excited to be able to
04:40
participate and and it’s been great
04:45
that’s two articles so far that we’ll
04:47
talk a little bit about but just being
04:50
given an opportunity to share my
04:52
perspectives and to share some fun
04:54
stories with an audience like that is
04:58
is just a real thrill well it’s
05:01
fantastic Tony and before we before we
05:04
talk about those two articles tell us a
05:07
little bit about your company I mean
05:09
what what type of business typically
05:11
seeks you out and then what do you do to
05:14
to help them okay so so generally
05:19
speaking I work with with some bigger
05:21
customers the people that are my primary
05:24
clients right now are fortune 100 type
05:26
companies and and they’re very very
05:29
interested in understanding what’s
05:32
happening with regards to patents that
05:34
are being published by either their
05:37
competitors or in new technologies that
05:40
that they think that they need to
05:41
explore in order to be successful so for
05:44
example while I was with Procter and
05:45
Gamble I did this sort of work and and I
05:48
used to work with all the different vice
05:50
presidents of R&D and they would come to
05:52
me and say yes you know we’ve heard
05:55
about this new technology for making
05:59
nonwoven fibers now that we want to use
06:01
in diapers or a new biodegradable
06:04
plastic that we want to put in diapers
06:05
so we really want to know who else is
06:08
out there and how much room do we have
06:12
to operate and and and if our other if
06:15
our competitors are looking into these
06:16
same areas and if they are what sort of
06:18
approaches are they taking to solve
06:20
these very critical business problems
06:22
from a technology perspective and so
06:25
that’s the sort of work that I generally
06:27
do people will come to me with a
06:28
question
06:30
what’s going on with biodegradable
06:32
polymers for diapers or tell me a little
06:36
bit about stator technology for electric
06:40
motors just about any sort of type of a
06:44
technical type of question my clients
06:47
will come to me and ask me to to do some
06:49
research find all the patents that are
06:51
related to these areas and then look
06:53
into breaking it down a little bit by
06:57
sub technologies and by companies and by
06:59
time and give them a better idea of
07:02
what’s going on so that way they’re
07:03
there when they go to make a decision
07:04
themselves about whether they want a
07:05
partner or whether they want to develop
07:08
technology on their own they’ve got an
07:10
idea
07:11
of what the lay of the land looks like
07:13
so that’s why it’s referred to sometimes
07:15
as a landscape study because you’re
07:17
getting an idea of what the landscape
07:18
looks like as you begin to make
07:20
important decisions about spending money
07:24
well you’ve just been a wealth of
07:27
information and guidance to so many of
07:30
the businesses here at the deck and even
07:31
even many that have just come to visit
07:33
through providing some seminars for us
07:37
and that kind of thing just to kind of
07:38
help Central Ohio and and other folks
07:41
around to to really understand the the
07:44
IP landscape just a little bit more well
07:46
let’s let’s jump into the first article
07:49
that that was posted on on Forbes and it
07:52
was posted on May 5th and the topic was
07:55
machines can’t be inventors but they
07:58
still contribute to the pace of
08:01
innovation tell us what that was all
08:03
about so writing something like this
08:10
it’s it’s you’re not a journalist so
08:13
it’s not just simply reporting the facts
08:15
and at the same time it needs to have an
08:20
implement aspect to it to certain degree
08:22
or at least a hook something that’s
08:24
going to get people interested in
08:25
reading the story and of course lots and
08:29
lots of conversation going on about
08:30
machine learning and in our in
08:31
artificial intelligence and a lot of TV
08:34
shows and a lot of talk about things
08:36
like the singularity and so there’s this
08:37
this sort of buzz that goes along with
08:40
the idea of machine learning or
08:41
artificial intelligence and the US
08:44
Patent and Trademark Office they ruled
08:48
in a case where an organization was
08:50
trying to suggest that a machine could
08:53
be an inventor now this is a really dull
08:56
and boring case because the statutes
08:59
very clearly say that an inventor has to
09:02
be a natural person so as far as the law
09:05
is concerned as far as what’s in the
09:07
patent statute this is cut and dry
09:09
there’s there’s no question here there’s
09:10
no discussion but the fact that it’s
09:12
about machine learning and artificial
09:14
intelligence made it an interesting
09:15
story
09:16
excuse me and so I I decided to take
09:21
that angle and write about this because
09:24
I thought it was going to be
09:25
a topic that people would find
09:27
fascinating and and and it did it you
09:31
know it did pretty well well Tony I
09:35
thought it to be fascinating and and
09:37
certainly the the ultimate decision is
09:40
is what I was anticipated as I was
09:43
reading the article was that that at
09:45
least in this particular case a machine
09:48
cannot be inventor
09:51
can you explain really going back to the
09:53
very beginnings of filing for patents
09:56
really what that needs to be it’s that
09:58
so far as I understand it’s that Wow a
10:00
moment it’s that that realization that
10:03
something’s new and and obviously in
10:06
this article it says that that needs to
10:08
be a human being yeah so that there’s
10:12
there’s in the US there’s there’s three
10:14
criteria something has to be novel
10:17
useful and non-obvious which is a little
10:21
bit of legal speak it but bottom line is
10:25
somebody can’t have done it before it
10:28
has to be useful for something and it
10:32
can’t be obvious based on what a
10:35
knowledgeable person would expect to do
10:37
so that that’s basically how it goes
10:42
with determining whether or not
10:43
something’s gonna be patentable and then
10:45
there’s another rule about laws of
10:47
nature and a couple of other things that
10:49
aren’t patentable as well and so but but
10:53
some people talk about what you see
10:55
sometimes in the in the movies is this
10:57
so-called spark of genius and that’s a
11:00
lot of times what people refer to when
11:03
they talk about well is something really
11:04
patentable what was that spark of genius
11:06
what was that inventive step what was
11:10
that novel aspect that has never really
11:14
been done before and in the case of the
11:17
Machine my argument has always been the
11:19
machine was told to do something machine
11:22
was programmed to do something and even
11:26
a human inventor if a lab technician for
11:28
instance is told by his principal
11:29
investigator to do something specific to
11:32
run a specific experiment that’s not
11:35
inventive output that’s following
11:36
instructions and
11:39
that technician even though they did a
11:41
lot of work isn’t typically considered
11:44
to be an inventor an genius is a similar
11:47
type of situation until a machine
11:50
independently decides that there’s an
11:53
issue and begins to think about why it
11:56
would be important to solve that issue
11:58
then a machine really can’t be an
12:01
inventor even by the spirit much less
12:04
the stat well that’s interesting
12:10
information too to understand another
12:13
common question just somewhat related
12:16
tony is a lot of people come in and they
12:19
have really questions on registered
12:21
versus you know and trademarks and those
12:25
kinds of things tell us a little bit
12:27
about that ok so yeah so copyright
12:33
excuse me trademarks are in it actually
12:37
this there’s four different main
12:39
intellectual property components patents
12:41
which is what I deal with primarily
12:44
copyright which are written works
12:46
trademarks and and trade dress which are
12:50
logos and and various slogans and other
12:53
things that are associated with the
12:54
business and then trade secrets and
12:56
trade secrets are actually a fairly
13:00
interesting topic that people don’t talk
13:02
about very much but the idea with it
13:04
with a trademark is that you can put a
13:08
TM on anything you want it’s a little
13:11
bit like a copyright you don’t have to
13:12
file you can of course send a document
13:15
to the Library of Congress for instance
13:16
you can ask for it to be read you’re
13:18
registered with the federal government
13:19
but it’s not required to have copyright
13:22
protection trademark is is similar in
13:25
that in the state of Ohio for instance
13:27
if you put a TM on something somebody in
13:30
the state of Ohio really can’t use that
13:32
trademark but if you want federal
13:34
protection and if you want to be able to
13:36
go to a federal court and keep somebody
13:38
from using a trademark then it needs to
13:41
be registered with the US Patent and
13:43
Trademark Office and so there’s there’s
13:45
a fairly distinct difference between the
13:47
circle R which is a registered trademark
13:50
with the USPTO
13:52
TM which is simply the statement that
13:55
you’re considering this to be a
13:56
trademark phrase and and I have to put
13:59
in a disclaimer here I am NOT an
14:00
attorney okay I am NOT providing legal
14:03
or twice since so apologies for the
14:05
disclaimer but if you have any sort of
14:08
question of anything real gravity or are
14:10
it’s gonna impact your business
14:11
whatsoever make sure that that you get
14:15
in touch with it with a registered
14:16
patent attorney trademark attorney and
14:18
they can give you legal advice well that
14:23
certainly is good advice Tony and one
14:25
just last question on this particular
14:28
topic for we talked about your other
14:30
article is what’s what’s to stop
14:32
somebody from taking somebody else’s
14:36
logo and slapping a TM on it nothing
14:42
really that’s that’s the biggest
14:45
potential misconception may be about
14:47
intellectual property intellectual
14:50
property generally speaking as a right
14:51
to exclude not a right to practice and
14:54
that sounds like jargon or maybe a
14:58
little bit of wordsmithing but it’s
15:02
really true that it’s it’s up to the
15:04
owner to enforce or to to engage in an
15:09
enforcement activity and so unless you
15:14
get a cease and desist letter or unless
15:17
you actively engage an attorney to
15:20
enforce your rights it’s not like
15:23
there’s anybody out there looking for
15:25
this type of thing it’s not like there’s
15:27
a police force generally speaking I mean
15:30
there are certain circumstances when
15:33
patented products come across
15:35
international borders and so on but I
15:36
don’t to get any of that but but the
15:39
bottom line is that it’s up to you to be
15:41
village a diligent and a owner of this
15:45
intellectual property to keep an eye
15:47
open for people who are taking advantage
15:49
and infringing and who are creating
15:52
products that could be mistaken for
15:53
yours and therefore you have the right
15:57
to to engage the authorities to file a
16:02
lawsuit in order to prevent them
16:05
from from engaging in that activity well
16:10
that’s great information Tony and any of
16:13
those that are listening today certainly
16:15
want to want to make sure that what they
16:18
have is protected and there again
16:19
somebody like you can provide some
16:21
outstanding advice from your experience
16:23
but but as you mentioned certainly go
16:25
into a patent attorney is the ultimate
16:28
and correct thing to do when when making
16:31
sure that you’re doing things legally
16:33
let’s move on to to your second posting
16:37
which actually I thought was more
16:39
interesting in the fact that you know a
16:43
lot of people don’t maybe take the time
16:46
to protect the value of what their
16:50
patent filings are worth and and so on
16:53
on May 12th your second article that was
16:56
posted was companies miss out on
16:59
billions in value new patent marketplace
17:02
could change that and I thought that
17:05
that was interesting and certainly
17:08
there’s some probably some companies
17:10
here in central Ohio certainly central
17:12
how such an entrepreneurial community
17:14
but and so many companies do have
17:16
patents here in the Central Ohio area
17:19
and maybe they’re not really taking
17:22
advantage of the full value of what they
17:24
have so so tell us a little bit about
17:26
that article okay so again know I’m
17:29
getting a little better at this now my
17:31
editor tells me the second headline was
17:34
much better than the first and it’s it’s
17:37
not intentionally clickbait T but I’m
17:40
happy to hear that it had the desired
17:42
effect that it gave got you interested
17:44
in the article straight away because
17:46
that’s where that’s part of what I’m
17:48
learning to do during this whole process
17:49
but it’s a legitimate concern and and
17:53
specifically companies spend a lot of
17:56
money on research and development they
17:58
also spent a lot of money in getting
18:01
patents to begin with and then
18:03
maintaining them for a certain amount of
18:05
time in the United States and then this
18:07
is mostly the case around the world but
18:09
in particular the United States a patent
18:11
lasts for 20 years basically and during
18:14
that time period there’s there’s three
18:16
times when you pay maintenance fee
18:18
on those and a significant percentage of
18:24
the patents never make it to that third
18:26
maiden it’s fee payment a lot don’t even
18:30
make it to the second main it’s faman
18:31
and there’s a lot of reasons why that is
18:34
but primarily because they’re not going
18:35
to use it themselves and there are some
18:39
companies that spend a lot of time and
18:40
money on having very very robust
18:42
licensing and and patent sale programs
18:45
and they’re recouping that money that
18:49
they put into that R&D their recouping
18:51
the money that they put into filing
18:53
those patents and maintaining them up to
18:55
that point and so their return on
18:57
investment is very much higher than that
19:00
organization says well we thought it was
19:02
a good idea at the time and it just
19:05
didn’t work out and therefore we’re
19:07
gonna go ahead and allow these to be
19:09
abandoned so we don’t have to pay the
19:11
maintenance fees where it’s considered a
19:12
sunk cost meanwhile if there was a
19:15
marketplace where these assets could be
19:19
traded more effectively or sales could
19:22
be conducted a lot more smoothly then
19:25
some of that value a lot of that value
19:27
would probably be retained by the
19:30
companies and invested in in the first
19:31
place and the idea that the story became
19:34
that yes the USPTO is making this big
19:37
step by actually creating a marketplace
19:39
is the the biggest Patent Office in the
19:41
world to have ever created a marketplace
19:43
and that’s significant and it
19:47
legitimizes the idea that a marketplace
19:49
is something that the company should
19:51
have access to and the ability to have a
19:54
market for being able to sell assets in
19:56
technology that they no longer need and
19:59
so as I was it could have been a very
20:01
dry story about the new marketplace
20:03
alone but that’s not as much of an
20:06
interesting story as why people should
20:08
care about this marketplace and the
20:10
primary reason that I thought of if when
20:13
I first read about what got me excited
20:14
about the idea was that people companies
20:17
are losing billions actually there’s
20:20
there some Masum it’s that it’s more
20:22
like trillions overall if you look at
20:24
everything and there’s a quote to the
20:26
trillion dollar tipping point in the
20:28
article where they actually talk about
20:31
the amount of value
20:32
that’s lost because people aren’t taking
20:34
advantage companies aren’t taking
20:35
advantage of their intellectual property
20:36
this way and certain time those two
20:39
ideas together more concretely and
20:42
telling that story I thought made for
20:46
more like thing article and and gave
20:48
people a reason why they should be
20:49
interested in this marketplace from the
20:52
US Patent and Trademark Office well I
20:56
enjoy that article and thank you so much
20:58
for for your input and explanation it’s
21:01
always great to hear from the actual
21:02
writer sometimes when you’re when you’re
21:07
reviewing reviewing something like that
21:10
so Tony I really appreciate you joining
21:12
us today and once again congratulations
21:14
on being asked to be a contributor to
21:17
Forbes what a what an honor that is and
21:19
nice to have you at the Dublin
21:21
entrepreneurial center providing that
21:23
kind of knowledge and guidance to
21:26
whoever might might need it let me ask
21:30
you one last question if we could and
21:33
really what I’d like to ask you is what
21:36
advice would you give to to any new
21:38
business that’s that’s starting up and
21:40
I’m not just talking about one that has
21:42
an electrical property property issues
21:44
but you’re a seasoned entrepreneur just
21:47
maybe in 30 40 seconds kind of kind of
21:50
give what you would suggest in today’s
21:52
environment that you would say would be
21:54
important for it for a new business okay
21:57
so actually I believe my next story is
22:01
going to be on something I learned at
22:02
Procter & Gamble and there was a vice
22:04
president there that was talking about
22:05
investment in technology that provided a
22:08
perceivable consumer benefit and you
22:12
hear this discussed with new companies
22:15
but I can’t say strongly enough how
22:18
really really important it is that you
22:20
have a very very very clear
22:22
understanding of what it is that is the
22:24
value to the customer and so as you’re
22:28
coming up with this business idea
22:29
everybody loves their own business idea
22:31
everybody loves what they’re doing but
22:33
but to validate that idea and to really
22:37
understand and and be able to share very
22:40
very quickly what is it that that
22:44
differentiates or
22:46
what is it that the signature aspect
22:47
what is it about your idea your business
22:51
that people can’t get anywhere else and
22:53
that are willing to pay a premium for
22:55
that’s the other big thing too one of my
22:57
other big clients they talk about a
22:58
signature experience what’s your
23:01
signature experience if your your
23:04
signature experience is what makes
23:06
people buy you instead of buying from
23:08
the thirty other people that are like
23:10
you and so always always concentrate on
23:13
that signature experience so that’s
23:16
that’s what I would say it’s a very
23:17
practical probably often overstated but
23:20
it can’t be McCann stress it enough that
23:24
that’s signature aspect that that
23:26
differentiation is what leads to
23:28
profitability as opposed to the race to
23:31
the lowest price oh that’s that’s
23:34
excellent advice Tony and and I’ll tell
23:37
you we we’re blessed here at the Dublin
23:39
entrepreneurial Center to host about a
23:40
hundred and fifty businesses and I see
23:45
new businesses all the time to come the
23:48
door and they’re looking for guidance
23:49
and mentorship and how to write their
23:51
business plan and whatnot and that’s one
23:53
of the key things that most of them
23:55
haven’t taken the time to do to really
23:57
validate their idea and making sure that
24:01
that it really is something that that
24:03
the community needs and the community
24:05
wants and that they can deliver so so
24:07
thank you once again Tony for joining us
24:09

24:12

25:32
mentioned it is a brand new business we
25:35
are a technology company that offers IT
25:38
support here basically we are going
25:42
after small businesses and trying to
25:44
give them peace of mind especially
25:46
during the whole called the xix
25:47
situation I grew up in a hard-working
25:52
family had a grandfather who taught me
25:56
to be a hard worker and he taught me
25:58
integrity honesty and a lot of life
26:02
lessons so I took them principles and
26:05
brought them into my company and decided
26:09
to go after companies that need help
26:11
so such such as we offers peel IT
26:16
support any type of support we can offer
26:19
we try to go after and we’re reasonable
26:23
about especially doing in this situation
26:25
that’s going on so we are locally
26:28
located here in Dublin Ohio
26:31
so we’re looking to grow and offer a
26:35
whole lots more services as we advance
26:40
well that’s great Dante and and not only
26:43
are you a brand new business but you’re
26:46
a recent recent graduate so tell us a
26:49
little bit about that and how how
26:50
starting a business came into your mind
26:55
yeah as you mentioned I am a recent
26:58
graduate I got I graduated degree in
27:02
criminal justice and actually helped
27:05
with my business
27:06
it pushed me to want to go into
27:09
cybersecurity after reading a lot of
27:12
cases in school I seen all these
27:14
different issues that many people faced
27:16
weld identity that fishing anything that
27:20
possibly thief can come up with criminal
27:23
could come up with I’ve read about so I
27:27
decided to start a company and help stop
27:29
this as a victim of identity theft
27:31
I know the feeling about it it’s not a
27:33
great feeling you find out you got bills
27:36
and things in your name that you didn’t
27:38
even know you had so it’s not a great
27:42
feeling and that’s why I brought this
27:45
company out and to help out the small
27:47
person who has these issues to avoid
27:49
this apathy again to avoid the
27:52
grandmother who just checked her email
27:55
and didn’t realize she just unleashed a
27:57
virus on her computer that’s what
27:59
brought my company and it’s gonna
28:02
continue to push it well Dante in this
28:08
day and age we need that kind of service
28:11
and we appreciate your grandfather who
28:13
obviously helped to raise you right and
28:16
provided you with some of those values
28:18
that you’re gonna pass on to your to
28:20
your customers let me ask you one last
28:21
question obviously you were doing some
28:24
exploring you were working out of your
28:25
home initially on you did some exploring
28:28
in the community of various places that
28:30
you wanted to to have your business call
28:32
home what made you decide on the deck I
28:38
chose the deck because it has a sense of
28:41
community the dad came here and visited
28:43
I visited probably two or three other
28:46
locations and I didn’t get that sense of
28:49
community I walked through the door was
28:51
welcoming just walking around speaking
28:54
to some of the businesses that are here
28:55
some opportunities that I think it just
28:58
it pushed me and I chose the deck
29:01
because I have that support that I need
29:04
anytime I need help I can just reach out
29:06
to someone if I need support I can reach
29:09
out the other business locations that I
29:12
walked through they were they were great
29:14
but I could tell they were more about
29:16
the money and yeah in this day and age
29:19
we need money but
29:20
that since communities would really made
29:23
me pick today well we we love having you
29:28
here Dante and obviously we’ve only
29:31
gotten to know you over the last week
29:33
but we look forward to helping you
29:35
introducing you to more and more people
29:38
like like Tony trippy who just have
29:40
wonderful businesses here wonderful
29:42
experience and wonderful knowledge on
29:44
and and and most importantly very
29:46
willing to share with others we just
29:49
have so many great and then certainly
29:51
some wonderful sponsors to this step in
29:54
to provide some some great guidance but
29:56
that gives us a good opportunity to
29:58
again say thank you Dante and to Tony
30:01
for for joining us today I did want to
30:04
in closing just offer the opportunity
30:07
for anybody who is interested right now
30:09
in making a change in their office
30:12
environment maybe getting into their
30:15
first office environment or whatever it
30:17
might be
30:18
to come and take a look at the Dublin
30:20
entrepreneurial center we have a very
30:22
affordable environment it’s just a flat
30:25
price depending on what type of room
30:30
that you’re in whether you’re a hot
30:31
spotter and and 24 365 access or whether
30:34
you step up to having your very own
30:36
cubicle or your very own enclosed office
30:38
but but one of the things that I’m
30:40
hearing from so many right now is
30:41
especially with this Kovan situation and
30:44
all of our spaces are very delineated so
30:46
it’s not an open environment but there’s
30:48
a there’s a good amount of space between
30:51
every working environment and people
30:54
feel feel very comfortable in that they
30:56
feel a sense of privacy in what what
30:59
they’re providing and so we’re we’re
31:01
anxious to talk to some businesses that
31:03
want to look for a new space and we just
31:07
appreciate the opportunity to be able to
31:08
do that so again I thank our guest today
31:11
Tony trippy and Donte Bailey and thank
31:15
