And we've gotten used to a lot of privacy. But more certainly, are we going to signal less or signal more? The trend will be to go back to the historical norm.
If intros aren’t about introductions, then what’s this here for? Is not including one a countersignal? Either way, you’ll enjoy this conversation — and that says a lot about you.
