Christie this was great. As an Australian that was living in the USA for 10 of the last 15 years there where two things I found odd and infuriating coming back here during COVID , getting a warm intro from an Australian is like winning lotto and why don't pitches have Asks? Both things seemed insanely immature.

I have met you a few times when you were at Blackbird and I have been following your American Journey with a big smile on my face as you see who much more reciprocity is in the culture there. Well done.

Thanks so much Garry! 100% agree with you on the warm intros piece - it's starkly different between countries. Appreciate the lovely comment and the support.
