good. good. But as you build this story, you can But as you build this story, you can But as you build this story, you can have something that's say creating a have something that's say creating a have something that's say creating a community and that community might be a community and that community might be a community and that community might be a new product, right? Like in this new product, right? Like in this new product, right? Like in this community, how do you talk about for community, how do you talk about for community, how do you talk about for example, one of our clients talk about a example, one of our clients talk about a example, one of our clients talk about a pain-free way to do a GYN exam. All pain-free way to do a GYN exam. All pain-free way to do a GYN exam. All right, we all know those spatulas, all right, we all know those spatulas, all right, we all know those spatulas, all those devices are very uncomfortable for those devices are very uncomfortable for those devices are very uncomfortable for women. And then women need to do this women. And then women need to do this women. And then women need to do this exam from teenager all the way to exam from teenager all the way to exam from teenager all the way to menopause, right? We needed to have menopause, right? We needed to have menopause, right? We needed to have those things. But so, maybe what you're those things. But so, maybe what you're those things. But so, maybe what you're talking about is human shouldn't just talking about is human shouldn't just talking about is human shouldn't just suffer. Women shouldn't just use these suffer. Women shouldn't just use these suffer. Women shouldn't just use these old school devices, right? What can we old school devices, right? What can we old school devices, right?
