Oh, man, you're always full of energy, Jacob, you know, like I get around, I get some things done. I think, I think that there are varying levels of of drive in this industry and in all industries, really. And man, you've been getting after it. You have been getting after it. Your event last year was awesome. You're planning for another huge one this year, going bigger, going better. And you've also just been going around speaking and traveling and doing events and stuff. Why don't we start there? Where have you been? Which events have really stood out to you as awesome. And what have your travels been like since we last spoke?

I'm not even sure when the last time we spoke was maybe about okay, mush Fest was the last time, maybe in person. But since just over the past month, I did four mushroom events, back to back to back. And so the first one was out in Pennsylvania. This was actually the Pocono mountain cannabis fair. So we're starting to see more cannabis events, whether they're local or they're national. We're starting to see them incorporate more mushrooms into the different aspects. And so I was invited to this cannabis event to judge, but also to lead a mushroom foray. And so I would take people out there. You know, of course, we're looking for magic mushrooms, looking for all the things that could possibly be growing during that season. It's a little bit dry. So we didn't find any of the active mushrooms, but we did find some really cool edibles. So that was Pennsylvania, the first weekend of August. The second weekend of August, I went to an event called Myco fest, which is a big mushroom festival out in Pennsylvania, and I spoke about community building and the importance of teaching people about how to identify fungi so when they do other things in their life, they have a little bit of skill set in their back pocket. I taught a really nice intro course out in Pennsylvania, and then the next weekend, I threw a big mushroom block party in Denver with one of my buddies at the mushroom classroom there. So we had about 35 vendors. We ended up selling 1024 tickets, and it was in the heart of Denver, so it was a. Really, really cool to be able to educate, promote, vend and get to showcase what's happening in an environment that's much more relaxed. And what I mean is, because of the prop 122, with the legalization of of entheogens and magic mushrooms, in in Colorado, we're starting to see more events open up, and not just in what they allow, but in the education that they provide. So I was very happy to be able to go up there, and, man, we got one more this. The weekend after that, I went up to the the biggest mushroom festival in the US, at least by social media scale, is the teleride Mushroom festival. So I went up there for my 27th birthday and danced like a mushroom down in the parade and attended classes, workshops and forays, little ego death action, and came back much better. Wow,

Jordan River

wow, wow, wow. And that's the the Telluride festivals you've been all over. Is Colorado kind of the part of this

movement, would you say? What's interesting is, like, if you look at mushrooms from different perspectives, you'll find different states that represent that you'll like be representative of that. So like the the button mushrooms that we see at the grocery store, like the little white ones or the brown ones, those are mainly are grown in Pennsylvania. So Pennsylvania produces millions upon millions of pounds of these button mushrooms every year. Like one company I met does 110 million pounds of mushrooms a year.
