Speaker 1: I'm interested in You're trying to tackle sort of loneliness

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: here as well. What is it that technology can't solve

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: for veterans?

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Bob, Oh, you know, technology is never gonna you know,

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it's ever going to touch PTSD, or

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: it won't be in our lifetimes. That's that's for sure,

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: because there's so many things that go with is. First

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: is the loneliness that comes with it, and it's brutal,

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: and it's a lot of the loneliness is self imposed

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: because you know, PTSD, you never feel like you belong

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: no matter who or where you're with, or that you

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: even want to belong. And that is that that is

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: one of the worst things. And then you know, taboo,

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: it comes to us a flash tamper, sometimes depression up

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: to severe depression, that sort of thing.

37
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: Bob, you found a GoDaddy in the late nineties, you

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: sold parsons to into it. You have this kind of

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: deep relationship with tech. How does that expand out to

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: the armed forces? Do you employ a lot of veterans?

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: You know, what relationship does go Daddy have for example,

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: with the armed services?

43
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm no longer affiliated with GoDaddy, haven't been since

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: doing now, but I can tell you and my companies,

46
