[00:00:36] Jan Griffiths: We are releasing this episode on Memorial Day in the U.S., and the team at the Auto Supply Chain Prophets Podcast would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our military personnel, both past and present, for your service to this country. And we'd like to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and let you know that we're taking a short break.

We're gonna be back next week with a brand-new episode. And if you haven't done so already, make sure that you sign up for the AIAG Supply Chain Conference on June 17th. It's going to be at Elevate at One Campus Marcius in Detroit, so I think that gives you a sense that it's going to have a bit of a different look and feel—and a much more innovative approach. Along those lines, also check out the brand new AIAG website.

Hopefully, we'll see you at the June 17th conference. We'll be there recording live. Yes, we're going to record a live episode of the Auto Supply Chain Prophets Podcast right from the floor of the AIAG Supply Chain Conference. Don't forget—tune in next week for a fresh new episode.

We love to hear from our listeners. Reach out to any one of us—our contact information is in the show notes. And if you want to dive deeper into our content, check out our website at autosupplychainprophets.com.
