Thank you, Jason, and thank you to everyone for joining us today. I am honored to kick us off in what will be my last earnings as CEO before stepping into the exec chair role. When we founded Sprout 14 years ago, we believed that social media would change the relationship between brands and their customers in new and profound ways. Today, social has become a primary and mission-critical channel for the entire customer relationship and entire customer journey, from awareness to acquisition to support. I am incredibly proud of this team's dedication and hard work to put us in this position as we strive to win this market in a category that is increasingly becoming a must have for any brand that aspires to be competitive moving forward. I'm thrilled to be passing the torch to Ryan and excited for my own transition into a supporting role for this incredible team where I will be able to dig into some of our most exciting opportunities. I am grateful to everyone that's been part of our journey so far and the support of our shareholders. And now the floor is yours, Ryan.
