Hey Suda, I've really enjoyed speaking with you. I love swell and I'm very passionate about the possibilities of how this can change the tone and really progress, hopefully because social media has become very polarizing. And the great thing about we need to go back to the basics that we've discussed. The voice is a very powerful thing and I words through text can be misconstrued. And that's what I love about your product so much. And here we go

Tom, thank you very much for taking the time to talk with me today. I really enjoyed it, and I am so happy to hear that Swell has been a meaningful place for you to come and share your passion on many mental wellness. It's a journey that started with wellness in mind. I wanted to bring people together to truly connect because what I have seen in social media platforms is that it really doesn't bring people together

Like, I'm busting in, but I'm just really excited for podcasters to find a home here and be able to go deeper with their audience and their guests here. So I imagine that the theme of your conversation was really specific to Suda's journey as the founder of this beautiful community and what it means to be her and the world that we live in and on the backdrop of who you are, Tom such a beautiful, open, warm host who really doesn't shy away from difficult conversations

And I feel like swell as a platform really goes there because you cannot see a person. And when you hear somebody and when you hear a conversation and you join a conversation, it really feels like it makes you feel like you actually joined the conversation. You're part of something. I think by itself it makes you feel like you're part of a community. I think that's what makes this platform really beautiful because it gives you a voice, it gives you a place to actually speak out

At Mayflower. Thank you so much for that. Beautiful. Swell. I just wanted to say that personally, I use the group's feature here to stay connected with cousins who are in different parts of the world because, you know, parents we can talk to on FaceTime. They are available, Bill, when we called. But then you don't get an opportunity to stay connected with cousins who are on different time zones, who are busy with their own schedules

Thank you so much. I did not know that I'll definitely, you know, explore that feature out. No, most of my my cousins are like kids, babies. I mean they're 16 years younger or more. So they will not be using the platform. But I will definitely tell my friends about it because it's Sudha different, refreshing platform for sure. And yeah, I know a lot of people who do listen to podcasts. So yes, definitely a group feature
