Thank you, operator, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I'd like to welcome you to our second quarter 2023 financial results conference call. Earlier this summer, we issued a press release announcing that as of September 6th, I would be passing the torch to CEO of Mama Mancini's to Adam Michaels. Retaining my role as chairman, In a similar vein, earlier this week, we announced the appointment of experienced financial executive Anthony Gruber as CFO, effective September 19th. This is a decision the board and I have been discussing for some time. We both felt that the timing of this decision could not be better as Mama Mancini is rapidly evolving for what was a single brand, OTC-listed regional firm into a NASDAQ-listed national platform company spanning an increasing number of award-winning brands. It has truly been a privilege to spend the last 12 years leading the Mama Mancini family to where it stands today. I'm incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished during the past decade at this incredible company, and I look forward to providing continued guidance from my role as chairman of the board of directors. As we pass the CEO torch to Adam, I'm fully confident that I'm handling it to an experienced leader who can truly take Mama Mancini's to the next level. With that, I am pleased to introduce Mama Mancini's CEO, Adam Michaels. Adam, please go ahead.
