That's what we'll do. Stay tuned to this podcast and you will get to hear what our experience was. Now we have a voicemail from Mackenzie Patel who we got to meet at BitWave's enterprise digital assets summit in Austin.

I think it was in Austin, right? She had the best presentation, remember, of all the presentations.

Hi, Fliking David. It's Mackenzie Patel, founder of Hashtraces. We briefly met at the e-bath BitWave conference back in Austin in April. I think I told you I'm a YouTube fan of the accounting podcast and the earmark in general. I wanted to share some of the highlights of what I've learned so far. First off, all of your conversations about GPT and how can you use an accounting artist that's fascinating. I'm a big fan of AI. I've actually been using a tool called perplexity to help a lot with accounting questions in my practice. I especially love the episode to have GPT with that up to fail the CPA exam because, well, of course it was, there's no way GPT wouldn't pass the CPA exam if it could pass all of these other tests. For someone who's grown up with digital technology all of my life, I'm so excited for GPT to automate most of my work so I can focus on the highest level of accounting, like overall strategy for my clients and really just being their financial counselor and partner. Second off, I didn't even know that there was a talent shortage in accounting. The first time I heard about this, I was honestly so shocked. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2020. NUS is a masters beater school for the big four, especially for the Tampa, Miami, and Atlanta offices. There was tricks to lay, catered almost every day to the accounting building. All of my friends have job offers, right in our junior year, basically all of them. Now is that I've learned about the talent shortage. This, I guess you could call it a court shift, but makes complete sense. I think only one of my friends from UF is still at the big four almost three years since we gathered them. So this upper out system and extreme burnout is quite real, which is why I chose to skip the big four experience altogether. Again, I know I get to talk about the talent shortage a lot, but I read something the other day that I wanted to share with you.
