Transcript

Jennifer Kok (00:01.265)

Welcome, Jeanette Stein. I am so excited to have you today.

Jeanette Stein (00:05.688)

Thank you so much. It's so good to see you, Jennifer.

Jennifer Kok (00:08.437)

So I know you have been in business about two years now and you started a business called Stein Solutions. Give us a little peek about, know, take us behind the curtain. What is Stein Solutions?

Jeanette Stein (00:19.714)

Yeah, I help small business owners use AI to get more of that stuff off their plate that they don't enjoy doing so they can spend the time doing what they got in business to do in the first place, if that makes sense.

Jennifer Kok (00:31.849)

I mean, what a time, right? What a time. I think some of us who've been in business a little longer than others can remember the time when we got Google or when we got Facebook and when we got these just monumental tools and huge shift in the way we run and operate business. And you are in it. So what were you doing before you Stein Solutions? Were you working for somebody else in AI?

Jeanette Stein (00:35.895)

Yeah.

Jeanette Stein (00:59.246)

No, was you know, just to go back just a little bit. I was a math teacher for about 17 years High school middle school math loved it But had some challenges in the family and I needed not to have it Structure, so I started my first business doing algebra lesson plans learned curriculum learned Marketing learned business learned how to sell and so got recruited by a company

that was looking to up level their product. They realized people were getting into it and getting stuck. They want to experience teacher that also knew marketing. And so got recruited there for about two years. But what I realized is we were asking people to do things that they just didn't have the time to get done. Whether it was pitching podcasts, creating materials, whatever it was, they were just, every client was so overwhelmed. And when this AI came out, some people were more open to it in the beginning and others weren't.

I just wanted to be able to jump in and help. I've always been math minded, systems minded. So in my last job, I built a lot with, if you're familiar with things like Zapier or processes, standard procedures, and I was always looking to make them easier for my team to use and make their life easier. Well, when I realized that ChatGBT and Zapier could work together.

the whole world opened up and I'm like, people need to know this. And so I decided it was time to stop asking people to do things they don't have time for and create a way for them to actually find the time to do it. And that's when I started my business, two September ago. Yeah, right? Like, it's actually your first part and you have to do everything.

Jennifer Kok (02:39.978)

my gosh, I needed you 20 years ago.

Jennifer Kok (02:46.837)

Because you're right. Well, and that's one of the biggest complaints of business owners I hear all the time, especially when they're in the first five years, five to 10 years, because they don't have a big team and they can't afford to outsource to a big team. And frankly, don't even, sometimes I hear questions or I hear the comment, I don't even have time to outsource because that's how crazy busy they are. You know, they're wearing all the hats. So who would have thought, then this is one of the things I love about interviewing entrepreneurs.

is what you were doing and how you got here. Who would have thought being a math teacher that someday you would have owned your own business and now you are on the forefront of AI? How cool is that?

Jeanette Stein (03:26.145)

Yeah, it's really fun. But I can also see how it all lined me up very well for that. I helped integrate technology into our classrooms and just that change management piece. Boy, that has served me really, really well helping teams incorporate it, right? So it's been really good.

Jennifer Kok (03:36.521)

Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (03:45.366)

So a lot of times when we follow AI experts, which there's a lot of them out there now, they normally focus on the sales funnel, the emails, using it as a marketing tool, helping you with your social media. And really, I love that your approach is more about the systems. How can I help reduce stress? How can I help teams focus more? Because you see that we are overwhelmed in the back end of owning and operating our businesses. And so you talk about,

Jeanette Stein (03:50.935)

There are.

Jennifer Kok (04:15.505)

making sure that it's the right size approach. Will you take us through what do you mean by that?

Jeanette Stein (04:22.017)

Yeah, I think every team has its own personality, has its own ability and talents around technology and what they want to integrate. I've also seen CEOs come in or owners, however you classify yourself, come in and be so excited. They've figured out something in AI and just expect their team to jump to whatever level they're at. And I've seen this backfire.

in big ways. So when I say have AI meet them where they're at, I feel like there's really these stair steps that we need to look at. We need to know what's possible. We need to play in it. We need to know how to talk to it. Some people call it all these fancy words, whether it's prompt engineering or something else, but really all you're doing is communicating with the engine, right? And so

For me, use ChatGPT a lot. The first thing I had to do is go, if I tell it this, what happens? If I tell it this, what happens? And you start going, oh, okay, I have this really hard email to write. And for me, this took me out of the emotional and into the logical and I could get it done, right? So it was a hard email. It was information I didn't want to receive. I needed to set some clear boundaries. Not always easy for us female owners.

And I said in the chat GPT, I'm like, this is the email I received. This is what I want to say. This is how I want to be known and this is how I want them to feel. And it's extremely important to me that the relationship is preserved. This was not a relationship. This was not a situation where I was wanting to end the relationship. And it helped me because I told it how I wanted it to feel and what boundaries I wanted to set.

It was able to help me with all of that. And some people, when you start dabbling in it, you don't realize the power of it. But being a math person, logical, sometimes too direct, right? Because that's how my brain works and that's how I tend to communicate. Having this tool helped me soften that out to what I wanted it to be. When I started doing that, I started going, okay, well, can it do this? And can it do that?

Jeanette Stein (06:47.037)

I want to help people. think there's a place to learn how to prompt it before you can systematize it because you have to trust it. You can't systematize something that you don't trust. Otherwise you spend all your time looking at the bot wondering if it's actually doing what you want it to do. Right. So a good example might be after a client call you want your notes you want your you want the next calendar set up you want an email going out to the client. You need the video.

put in the right folder, you need your notes put in the right folder, right? Like there's all these things that have to go on after a one-on-one call, you know, with my clients. And so at first it was a prompt to help me write the email, right? Or it was a quick zap to just move my video into the thing. And that's fine. And then I created what's called a custom bot or a custom GPT. And basically I could just put the transcript in and it helped me create some of these things. Okay, now I trust it because I know how to prompt it.

Right, so you learn how to prompt, then you learn how to create maybe a tool. And now I've created what's called an agent, which I just put in the transcript. I don't even put in the transcript. I tell it and it goes to Zoom and it gets the transcript and it writes the notes and it puts it in my Google folder. But if I didn't trust that it knew how to do it and I hadn't gone through the steps and I just go to the last step, if I go set that up for you, Jennifer, and you're like, and you don't trust it,

Jennifer Kok (08:02.248)

wow.

Jeanette Stein (08:16.769)

You're not going to let it run, right? Like, I mean, and I've seen this before where a CEO was like, I want this and I want this and I want this. And then the team didn't implement because they couldn't trust it. So you've got to go through that. Like, how do you talk to it? How do you set up those smaller systems before you set up those, whatever you want to call it, agents, crazy things you see? You know, I think about it on TikTok and they've got a hundred bubbles going everywhere. But before you get there, you can't go straight there. You've really got to allow yourself time.

to learn and trust the system. And I don't think you can skip those steps. I think it has to do that to have a healthy implementation for you and your team.

Jennifer Kok (08:58.613)

So we're still humanizing this big beast called AI. It's not just, you know, set it and forget it. We're still humanizing it.

Jeanette Stein (09:01.482)

always.

Jeanette Stein (09:07.337)

Yeah, and that's where the teacher in me comes in. I'm like, yeah, I can get the AI to do a lot of stuff. But if you as the human don't feel empowered along that process, you're not going to want to use it. And it's probably not going to work for you. So.

Jennifer Kok (09:25.429)

Wow, so that's pretty cool. And is that where the chat GBT and Zapier are coming in together? Is it the Zapier that's putting all this information in certain places? And now that's changed because we can't keep up with it.

Jeanette Stein (09:35.102)

Used to be. As of two weeks ago. Actually, it's gotten much, much easier, Jennifer. So if you've been waiting, this is perfect. Chat GPT, if you have the $20 a month and that's all it costs. And you can write a list of instructions of what you want. You can put that list of instructions in the chat GPT and you go down and you hit that plus sign and there's a thing that says agents there. And you click on agents.

Jennifer Kok (09:48.682)

Yeah.

Jeanette Stein (10:02.187)

and a little computer screen, it's like a little assistant working on a computer where you can see it right on that desk over there, right? And you might, they might, and think about that assistant would go, hey, can you log me into your Gmail? Hey, can you log me into your Zoom account? And you do, and it'll stop and it'll ask you to do those things. And if you do those things, it takes care of the rest, right?

Jennifer Kok (10:25.237)

And so you're right, the trust factor, because my skin just kind of went like, my gosh, like now they have access to my Gmail, know, they, whoever it is.

Jeanette Stein (10:32.319)

only if you let them, right? It's at what level you have to be in nets. Yeah. There's, I will say, I'm just going to take a side note if you don't mind. The security when using things like these ChatGPT agents, I want everybody to know the biggest scare so far, right? And things change on a diamond AI. And I was on vacation last week, so I will do my research.

Jennifer Kok (10:36.997)

Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (10:45.173)

Yes.

Jeanette Stein (11:00.257)

But the biggest thing is not that the agent's going to go rogue and put your password somewhere. It actually stops recording any time you take over to put in a password. Like it's not recording. It doesn't save your passwords. And it even logs you out at the end of the session, right, automatically. The biggest fear, though, is that fake websites are going to go up. And you as the human, when you go to log in, are going to log into the wrong website.

That's the fear. That's right. Because even last Christmas I was buying Tea Tree, right? Isn't that the soft scrub? Whatever. My daughter loves it. And I actually, as much as I'm online and I think I'm pretty darn savvy, I put my credit card into a fake account that was made to look exactly like that one. Right? Like their website. And so if it can trick me as a, you know, here I am running up a week before Christmas, cancel all my cards.

Not awesome, but if a human's gonna make that mistake, just be aware that if you're going to sites that you're not using all the time, that's where the danger is. So for it to go to my Zoom, it's my Zoom. I know it's my Zoom, that's great. If it's going to my Gmail, I know it's my Gmail. But if you're asking it to book your flights for you, just do your due diligence, right? If it's, my niece, somebody, find my niece a,

Jennifer Kok (11:59.871)

right.

Jennifer Kok (12:12.009)

Mm-hmm.

Jeanette Stein (12:27.959)

purple sparkly unicorn that's less than 40 bucks for whatever, right? Be careful of those websites, right? Because people are figuring out how to sca... Sorry, I'm talking too long on this, but I just want to... Right, and it's always been the case and now they're taking advantage of that the agents are gonna find them and use them. that's more the danger, believe me. Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (12:39.667)

OK, well, yeah, that's always been the case, right?

Jennifer Kok (12:54.092)

Yeah. Okay. All right. So take me through, give me some practical examples for small business owners that maybe are on the smaller scale. They don't have a huge team. You know, they're solo entrepreneurs, but they have a few people working for them. And, know, they're in the back end of their business, maybe recording videos that are going to go on social and go on YouTube. They are, you know, creating different social media posts or even like this podcast, you know, like I take this podcast.

Jeanette Stein (13:00.717)

Thank

Jennifer Kok (13:23.773)

and I take the transcript and I put it into chat GPT and I ask it for social media and I ask it for titles. Are there some steps that I could be eliminating? Because I feel like me, it's a lot of copy and paste. So you are more focused on those systems. Give us a couple of examples of how we could be better using AI in the back end of our small business.

Jeanette Stein (13:37.538)

Mm-hmm.

Jeanette Stein (13:44.269)

Yeah.

Yeah, you're set up really well because you've been doing it. So you know what prompts actually work. So in the $20 chat GPT plan, there's these things called custom GPTs where you can write it out like step one. want, if I put in the transcript, you probably want a YouTube description and you can even put in an example of what you want it to look like. So they're all branded with you with the right links. You're not copying and pasting links in. You can say I want social media for this, for this.

For this, and here's some examples, and you just attach those in there, this is called a custom GPT. Now, every time you're done with the thing, you put in only the transcript, and it walks you through those steps, so you're not copying and pasting all the prompts. You do it once, and then it walks you through it all.

Jennifer Kok (14:34.873)

Okay, so you save it as a custom GPT that would be like my podcast and I can use that every time Okay

Jeanette Stein (14:37.996)

Yeah.

That's right. And now you've hopefully saved probably an hour. Like I have one gentleman that I worked with. does, I helped him set up his custom GPT. He was able to get all his assets and everything done, including the email, know, blast and everything in 20 minutes where it used to take about two hours.

Jennifer Kok (14:59.283)

Wow. All right, so custom GPTs. know, a lot of times I see people use those as freebies. They create a custom GPT prompt for a particular thing, and then they put it out there for people to use as freebies. Is that available to everybody, or did they have to pay for that?

Jeanette Stein (15:08.023)

Yeah.

Jeanette Stein (15:19.223)

To create a custom GPT, you have to have it for 20 bucks. To use it, you can do it from a free account. You do have to log into a free account to use it. can't use it. know, ChatGPT doesn't require you to log in. You can use it anonymously. It won't remember you, but it's there. But if you want to use one of the custom GPTs, you do have to have at least a free account. Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (15:22.674)

Okay.

Jennifer Kok (15:34.376)

Okay.

Okay.

Jennifer Kok (15:41.974)

OK. All right, let me ask you this. What about keeping your data organized? So let's say right now I use Google Drive. And I've got all these images and all these things in there. I search, but I don't know. I feel like I just spend so much time. And I have a virtual assistant. And a lot of times I want her to do something or pick up on something. How can you use Chat GPT to kind of

Jeanette Stein (15:50.507)

Mm-hmm.

Jennifer Kok (16:09.159)

maybe work with your team as far as project management, I guess, would be the right term, where to make sure that we're both on the same page and each person knows what needs to get done.

Jeanette Stein (16:20.417)

Yeah, I mean that's a great question. For me and my team, we use Asana and we use ChatGBT as that in between. So anytime a meeting gets done, just in the last two weeks, but it saves me hours. Now every meeting goes through my agent that pulls out any to-do items for me or my team and they automatically get placed and written in Asana.

and then my agent will actually pull the details from the transcript and put them in there so we don't have to go re-listen to it or, you know, just to help your brain transition faster. It'll put in any links that we need and make sure it's all there. That is fantastic. As far as cleaning up your Google Drive, I think it's coming really soon. I have found...

Jennifer Kok (16:58.068)

Right.

Jeanette Stein (17:13.965)

With the new agents if I ask it hey go put this in this folder it does it a hundred percent of the time if If I say hey, I met with Jennifer this morning go put it in my client folder for Jennifer It it doesn't miss right like it's there when I need it, which is really important as far as it going in and Finding you know like all those

on lists or unnamed docs that you start and never even need and deleting them. Can it pull them all and put them in a folder? I've tried that and that worked. So I'm like, go find anything that I didn't name, put that in the unnamed folder, right? At least, right? Now, can it go through and like put in a naming convention? I just haven't tested it yet, but I bet it will be here in the next month or two. Because even the agents are already running.

Jennifer Kok (18:01.918)

Okay.

Jeanette Stein (18:12.887)

than probably half the time they were a week ago. When I left for vacation and came back, it was drastically faster.

Jennifer Kok (18:19.189)

Okay, so that's, think, what is overwhelming for us that are not AI experts, but we're just trying to use it because we keep hearing how cool it is and we want to save time and make our lives easier, is keeping up with all the changes. You know, it's funny how it used to be social media algorithms. We used to stress about how do we keep up with that? So what's your advice for us mainstream small business owners out here in the trenches, just doing our thing to not feel overwhelmed by it?

Jeanette Stein (18:22.829)

Mm-hmm.

Jeanette Stein (18:44.087)

Yes.

Jennifer Kok (18:48.501)

Sometimes I get this like, almost like my heart starts to race and I feel like, oh, I got some FOMO. Like, what am I missing out on? What else should I be doing? I'm, you know, I'm sure I'm barely dipping my toe into how robust this tool is.

Jeanette Stein (19:03.127)

That's every single person out there, me included, all the gurus included. We all have our things that we dip into. So I would tell everybody here, first of all, you're not behind. We're all behind. Software used to like doubling capabilities every two to three years. Okay? So like, what Excel, I'm gonna age myself, but if you remember the like jumping little paper clip in the corner.

Jennifer Kok (19:22.037)

Mm-hmm.

Jeanette Stein (19:31.38)

It took probably five years for that to get where it had spell check, where it had grammar check, right? Like there were huge gaps in time for these upgrades. The AI is doubling in capability every, I've fact checked this and I'm seeing different research, three to five months. So every three to five months, it's doubling in capability. What I would tell you is that's really overwhelming.

Jennifer Kok (19:53.939)

Wow.

Jeanette Stein (20:01.139)

Absolutely. It overwhelms me. I see people doing stuff. I'm like, I'm the AI expert. I should know that. And I have to kind of talk myself off the ledge. I'm just being real, really honest, right? Because you see all these people and there is that being a business owner where you feel like, they're doing it better.

Jennifer Kok (20:09.833)

Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (20:18.003)

Right, sure.

Jeanette Stein (20:20.173)

Focus on one thing. Focus on one thing. If you're Google Drive, if you're spending hours and hours and hours looking for stuff in your Google Drive, start there and only learn the AI that does that. If you're like me and you're like, know I'm too direct, I hate my writing, learn how to talk to it so you can pull out what you want. But I wouldn't do both at the same time. Even me, like.

It's too much. It's going too fast. So pick that one thing you hate doing.

Jeanette Stein (20:57.013)

If it's social media, play with it and learn how to write your captions or create your social media. If it's, but only one thing, I will challenge you for the next 30 to 60 days, only focus on one thing with AI. And give yourself, and you're like, but all these things are happening and all these things are coming. If you only focus on one objective, right?

For me, was writing the email, getting it to sound like me, getting it to be empathetic, not so matter of fact like I tend to write and probably talk right now. But that's just, I understand as part of my personality, but in written form, it's so hard because you can't see my eyes, you don't see my heart, you don't hear the influx. So for me, that was most important. That was my weak spot, that's what I hated doing, and that's where I learned and leaned in, and I only did that. But I did that with the prompting.

Jennifer Kok (21:40.201)

Right.

Jeanette Stein (21:52.728)

Then I said, OK, how can I get this into Zapier so I can automate one thing? And how can I prompt that? And then how can I use it? And then it slowly branched out, right? And then, yes. And that's OK. But if you focus on one thing, the other things become easier. If you focus on all the things, none of the things come easier.

Jennifer Kok (22:05.364)

Right.

Jennifer Kok (22:16.105)

That's great advice, because I think you're right. We try to think, I want to do this. I want to do that. But I love this focus on what's the one thing you're spending the most time on, and how can this tool help you in that back end save some time? But you're right. You have to trust it. I love how you said that. You have to trust it, and you have to continue to tweak it, I guess, until you're getting the output that you're looking for.

Jeanette Stein (22:42.881)

Yeah, and just, yeah, and I would encourage you as you, if you're on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, you are seeing all these ways that people are doing things. And I know when I first started my business, one of the best pieces of advice I got is you may not subscribe to more than three newsletters at a time. Have you heard this before? You probably have.

Right? Because it used to be really popular, because back then instead of social media, when I first started, it was the email overload. You'd hear this tip and this tip and this tip and this tip. Still true. Still true. I would follow maybe two, maybe three AI people, block out anything everybody else says. It's just too much. And then you do nothing. You get paralysis, right? I do at least. Even

Jennifer Kok (23:37.461)

Right. Yeah, no, we do as humans, get, you know, decision paralysis and I always say the non-decision becomes the decision. And you just stay stuck. So.

Jeanette Stein (23:42.893)

Mm-hmm.

Jeanette Stein (23:48.073)

Exactly. You just start avoiding it because you feel so like it's just piling on and next thing you know you can't even get your head above water.

Jennifer Kok (23:53.279)

Right.

Yeah, well, and there's a little bit of that, I'm too late to the game, so I'm just going to skip it. You we don't want that either, because like you said, it's going to move faster than any of us. we're always, all of us are behind. So take us through, who is like an ideal client for you? And give us kind of an example of how you work with people. So you come into their business, and what are some things that you're looking for?

Jeanette Stein (24:20.503)

Yeah, so the people that I work with are usually people stuck in that middle where they're making money but they can't grow because they're in that messy middle. They've grown to a point where they know they need to hire but they...

How do you even, like this is where you, you're really the expert with this. I'm the one that helps ease that busyness so they can spend more time with those new team members, so that they can spend more time with their clients. So I come in and I usually will sit down with an owner for a full day, watching what they do, asking them lots of questions. What does their processes look like? And then we start looking at the most.

irritating thing for them to do if I can be blunt, right? Where do I see their body language go? And then I always look for where are those places where AI could come in and they could learn this much and get this ROI? Right? Where's that one small thing they could learn that could just be like, boom. And so I really learn a ton about their business. And then I work with them for 12 weeks.

Jennifer Kok (25:08.681)

Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (25:12.275)

Right, sign me up. I'm all about take away this irritating thing.

Jennifer Kok (25:25.726)

Okay.

Jeanette Stein (25:35.246)

to really help implement those things and make sure I'm not just piling on more, but I slowly drip out as they're ready to learn the next thing, right? So we might learn the prompting, we might learn wherever they're at. Some people are really ready to automate, they've been playing pretty well with it. And some people are like, I just wanna get started, I just don't even know what I don't know. And that's okay too.

Right, but then for 12 weeks we work together and then we discuss if you want to keep going. But I just asked for 12 weeks to really get that ROI. I want your ROI. My big goal is time, then revenue. Right, you got to get the time so you can work on that revenue.

Jennifer Kok (26:17.001)

Right, well, entrepreneur's time is revenue. So, Jeanette, this is really interesting, and I love that your AI approach is more system-oriented and more kind of becoming another employee, if you will, in our wheelhouse and a tool that can help businesses not be so distracted and really, like you say, feel buried under the daily tasks. So how can people find out more about you? You have a free Facebook group?

Jeanette Stein (26:21.503)

It is. Yes.

Jeanette Stein (26:46.379)

I do have a free Facebook group called AI Efficiency. And I've shared the link, so they should be in the show notes. I would love for you to join that free Facebook group. Just get involved. I'm back from vacation, so it'll be hoppin' here real soon. And as well as, you can always find me, I'm mostly on Facebook, LinkedIn as well, and I'm starting a YouTube channel, so I'd love your support there as well. So, I really appreciate it.

Jennifer Kok (27:12.429)

Awesome. Well, thank you for sharing your wisdom and just kind of scratching the surface a little bit more for us. And I think what's impactful is the one thing, just to think about what's the one irritating thing in your business. Because we all have it. We all have our skill set that we shine on. And we all have our areas of the business that we just don't enjoy as much. And what I'm hearing from you is AI can maybe help us with some of those areas we don't enjoy as much.

Jeanette Stein (27:37.742)

That's, I would love to see that for everyone listening. Take that one thing and go, how can you help me do this easier? If you don't know where to start, I'll leave you with one little prompt. go, I don't like doing this. Ask me questions one at a time until you can help me with it. Right? Ask me questions one at a time, because the last thing you want is an AI overwhelming you with 20 questions. Ask me a question one at a time.

until you have enough information to make a recommendation, right? Of how AI can help, how chat GBT can help, whatever tool, if you use Gemini, Copilot, know, Claude, it doesn't matter, but have it kind of give you that little mini assessment.

Jennifer Kok (28:24.533)

Okay, that I'm going to try that right away because I have put in something like give me a 12 week business plan and it spits out so much that you do you tend to shut down. So I like this one question at a time. Scary. I'm having a conversation with a robot.

Jeanette Stein (28:42.355)

It is, know and yes, it is. I get it. But it's so helpful once you kind of lean in just a little bit. The other one that I would give you, I am a very small business owner and I don't have time for complex strategies. Right. And then ask me questions one at a time. Telling it you're busy and you don't have time for complex will make it much more doable for the small business owner. Sometimes I'm like,

Jennifer Kok (29:01.618)

Okay.

Jeanette Stein (29:12.267)

I'm not Google, like stop. Yeah.

Jennifer Kok (29:13.715)

Right, right. And it's funny because I've heard people say that, you know, fifth grade level, that our ability now when we are reading other people's marketing and seeing other people's information out there is to give it to us at fifth grade level because a lot of us aren't reading deep anymore. We are skimming, scrolling, and you know, that's a little scary what's happening to our brains. But I've heard that too. Ask ChatGBT to give it to me at fifth grade level.

Jeanette Stein (29:32.727)

busy.

Jeanette Stein (29:40.381)

Absolutely, it works really well.

Jennifer Kok (29:43.423)

Well, very interesting. Well, thank you for shedding a little bit more light on this robust tool that we all have at our fingertips. And I will definitely put in the show notes your Facebook group, and I'm going to go hop over there and join that myself, and all the links to get a hold of you. And once again, thank you so much for being here.

Jeanette Stein (29:51.149)

in.

Jeanette Stein (30:00.6)

Thank you so much, Jennifer. It was my pleasure.
