Rick has been mulling this over and has expressed interest in wanting to talk with you both about what’s the best first piece to put out there with you both, but easiest and best to do so in person/over the phone, rather than email. I suspect he’ll start this conversation with you Hunter, in LA. Tony, he was hoping to do the same with you there, but since you aren’t able to go now, I think he’ll want to follow up with you when you have some time, here in DC.

I just pitched it to Rick and he was reticent for about two minutes, but by minute 6 he was excited about the idea.

And also key to building a broad base for inclusive economic growth. And we would aim this at an outlet that would get Hill and Admin attention.
