Thanks, Matt, and welcome to everyone participating on our earnings call. I joined Enthusiast Gaming as its Chief Enthusiast Officer five months ago, and my conviction continues to be that the gaming media sector is a huge growth opportunity for us as the number one gaming property in the U.S. as measured by Comscore. Throughout the course of my remarks, I'll share concrete examples of our occurring and new business momentum that strengthens my conviction on a daily basis. I'm excited to share with you the strong progress we have achieved over the past quarter as the management team has focused diligently on executing the strategic initiatives developed as part of our 2023 transformation velocity plan.
