Hey Sal 👋. My names Juan. I just recently discovered you on the episode of stealth ship. I'd like to partner up with you. In particular of education of the youth in maritime shipping. I am a union rep of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and we want to prepare and inspire our constituents on the importance on great lakes shipping enterprises.
