00:00Jan, thank you so much for taking a few minutes out of a busy schedule at South

00:03By I'm sure. Tell us all about the new initiative and the new announcement

00:06between Clover and Shark Tank. What should people know?

00:08Clover is the world's smartest all-in-one POS solution and we are here

00:12to unlock the next generation of small

00:15business growth at the intersection of commerce, culture,

00:19and community and that's what brings us here. Everything that we are doing is all

00:22about creating a new playing field for small business owners, really

00:27attacking the things that they don't even know may get in their way of

00:30success and closing that success rate of their

00:32of their small businesses. Many people don't know that

00:3650% of all small businesses fail within the first five years

00:40and that is the problem that we're trying to attack. So on 1-30 we announced

00:44Tabitha Brown as our new Chief Brand Empowerment Officer for

00:48Clover. She is here today with us making this

00:51announcement and bringing our brand mission to life and then

00:54today we are also announcing an amazing partnership with Shark Tank.

00:58They've been in business for 16 seasons bringing

01:02entrepreneurs dreams to life and it is through that intersection that we are so

01:06excited to be here and to change the failure

01:10rate of small businesses. And I know that the month of September

01:12is beautiful in the city of Las Vegas. There's a highly anticipated conference.

01:16What can people expect if they're hearing about it for the first time and

01:19want to learn more? Absolutely. Please go to clover.com.

01:21That is where all of the information will be. Our

01:25registration opens today so I think it will sell out really fast. We're going to

01:30be at the Venetian September 28th through 30th.

01:32You picked a great hotel for it. It's going to be amazing. Absolutely. Finally what most

01:35excites you right now about the moment we're in the opportunities that small

01:39and medium-sized businesses have despite at times a bit of a challenging overall

01:43economic environment. What most excites you about the space? There is no better

01:46time than now to start a small business. When you think about Gen Z and the

01:49changing demographics of this landscape, half of them want to be small

01:54business owners. They don't want my job. They want to chart their own new

01:57territory and there are tools and opportunities that are available for

02:02them to win and Clover is one of those

02:05solutions. So we cannot wait to be a part of their journey towards small business

02:10domination. Domination. I like that part. Well it's

02:13great to have you. Congratulations on the announcement and best of luck on the

02:16road ahead. Thanks a lot Shannon. Thank you so much.
