Actually, we went to college together. Yeah. George Mason University. Right, Aaron? Yeah, it's true. We went to college together and drop down together. Well, actually, yeah, around the same time. And we're both successful now. So doesn't matter.EErin X. O'Connell 0:30Well, success can be measured in adult, various number of ways. I was talking to someone about that the other day, actually. And they told me that success is it wasn't happiness, it was a fulfillment. They had a really good way of putting it I have to remember.0:47Also think about that one actually. There's many ways to measure success and I think that's something that that is worth dwelling on.0:57Yeah, but But anyway,1:00Aaron is known for many things, including helping organize pi Colorado at the moment.
