I don't think any of us would've predicted the 2019 we've had — wild highs, devastating lows, areas of unexpected progress and so much overdue reckoning and rebuilding. And even though it's hard to imagine from this stationary bike that is literally going nowhere (as I write this on my notes app on the gym), I do think we are getting somewhere. And we couldn't have done that without your support.
When ever...
