Question-and-Answer Session
Q - Laurent Yoon
Alright, that's pretty awesome. Yes, so the first time I watched this, something like this, a few years back, I was kind of amazed with the plethora of content that the company has.

You're managing two companies with kind of different focus in the type of content that we're doing, I'm sure very different cultures and different history. The first I'd like to start off with, what is it, how has it been, right? Putting the two big companies together with some priorities perhaps in the past?
And obviously you and your management team have been very busy, right? Streaming lining the plate, making sure they capture all the cost efficiencies and growth and all that. But going back, what is it like to kind of combine the two companies. How do you incentivize the [Technical Difficulty] your team with different set of businesses, some growing, some not. You have to make trade-offs across the organization. What has it been like?...
