This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business, the Becker Private Equity podcast. Today's title is Ben Johnson, Elliot Moscow and Tim Donahue. So, so here's the deal with the Becker business and the Becker Private Equity podcast. We try to daily bring you a regular business interview and business information or market information. You know that gives you efficient sort of rapid information on what's going on with the markets, what's going on with business, the different startup entrepreneurial ideas and thoughts as well as market information. Periodically we also have issues that we describe as somewhat ridiculous where I'm discussing about different pieces of life or trying to talk about different things. Today's one of those episodes and I'd love your feedback on whether you hate or love these episodes and whether we should keep them as part of the periodic diet and repertoire of episodes. We're trying not to overload people with episodes. One serious business podcast today once there's interview a day and then periodic business of life episodes like this. Love your feedback. 773-766-5322. So, so here's the issue. We've got a new paddle captains on our paddle tennis team. I've not played in a couple years but great fun to be back out playing as long as my body allows it. But, but the reality is that the new captains, the Tim Donahue's of the world, the, the La Mos of the world remind me a little bit of Ben Johnson of the Beers. This, this concept of really a turnaround team. The be.

Nobody saw that coming. I don't think anybody saw the coaching acumen that we're seeing out of Tim Donahue and Elliot Moscow that we are seeing. Simply amazing. Ben Johnson uses the term good, better, best to sort of rally the troops, rally the team and better trying to get to be the best. And I think I feel inspired equally by Tim and by Elliot. This is not to poke fun at the former captains. Alan Cole was a great captain. Mark Blum was always in and out of Florida, but a great player and a great participant. I, I don't know where else you go with that. The other thing I'll mention is we have now on the team a a bunch of new players and, and thank goodness they brought in a player who also went to Harvard Law School. So I've got somebody that I could actually dialogue and intellect we talk to before that it was very challenging to have the right level conversations that I want to have with people because the rest of them just not as gifted but, but great athletes. The other thing about these new young guys smarter, funnier, better than the rest rate to be and to see those guys. The last thing I'll mention today's podcast is on stock picking. This will be our PS for the day. My two stocks I own out of the Magnificent Seven directly I think are Microsoft and Amazon. And this is why we give information, not advice. Microsoft and Amazon are right about the two worst performing of Magnificent Seven this year. There might be, Tesla might be behind them, but Microsoft and Amazon are right there in terms of the least performing of the of the Magnificent Seven. It is what it is. Thank you for listening to this version of the Becker Business, the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Again, thank you to Tim and Elliot who are inspiring. Not that Alan and Mark were not. And thank you to the new partner on the team who went to Harvard Law School. So I have somebody to talk to. God Bless America. A final shout out to Sometimes things are just tfn. That's for a specific person. It means something. God bless you all. God bless you for listening to the Becker Business, the Becker Private Equity Podcast. We hope you enjoy this as much as I do. We'll back to you regularly with regular business and market information. But in the meantime, God bless you. Thank you very much.
