A Story Brought Together by the People Who Matter

See what a story looks like when everyone comes together

I wasn't sure what to write at first, and then I thought: just say what's true. So here it is. You have made my life better. In ways I couldn't have predicted and in the most ordinary everyday ways. I'm grateful for you.

I've worked with a lot of people over the years. You stand out — not because of big dramatic moments, but because you are consistently, reliably brilliant. That's rarer than people think.

We wanted to do this because sometimes the right thing is just to say: we see you, we appreciate you, and we are very glad you exist. That's it. That's the whole message.
