Good morning friends. Welcome to the Twitter space. We are just going to wait for a few moments for Charles to show up and then we'll get started. Thanks for being here.
We are just waiting for Charles to show up. I'll invite him to the stage and we will get started. So just sit back and relax and hopefully we'll get started as soon as possible. Hello, hello. Thank you for the wave.
Hello, Topia, how are you? Great to see you here. Welcome. We're waiting for Charles to show up. Hopefully he's not having technical difficulties, but we appreciate your patience so much and we'll get started as soon as possible.
Welcome, welcome, Nate and Dwayne. Just sit back and relax friends. We are waiting for our friend Charles to show up. I'm going to try to check on him to see if he has half as any sort of technical difficulties happening and then we'll get started as soon as possible.
Alrighty, I see Charles. Welcome, Charles. I'm going to welcome you to the stage. Show me just a second. There we go.
Let me try that again. And the white to speak. Charles, are you there? Can you? There we go.
Hello, hello Charles, welcome to the stage. So friends, thank you for joining us today. I'm so stoked to welcome Charles Baskowski of Arena. This is Prism. This is our next, our second event series of our collective intelligence exploration. I'm Caroline. I'm your host. And again, we're
joined today by Charles Viscoski, one of the many co-founders of arena. Charles, I want to thank you right away just for your kindness in being here because I literally pestered you for months, I think, repeatedly. And you somehow thanked me for my persistence, which just then encouraged me. So a little side note to all of my friends out there.
give up on your dreamers persevere. No matter how they're small. Yes, that's right. So hello to all of our friends who have joined us. We have an intimate space today. But if this is your first Twitter space, I want to point out two things. First, there's a pin tweet at the top of the screen here.
and I've attached some goodies to that. So throughout the conversation you might hear me refer to this pin tweet and just click on that and I'll sort of guide you to where you should be looking. And the second thing is, despite social audio being a thing, it can still feel kind of weird and we can't see you, we can't make eye contact, exchange smiles.
