Saloni Multani is the Chief Financial Officer of the Biden-Harris campaign for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. In this episode of The Nine Oh Six, Saloni underscores for us why we all have a responsibility in playing our part in our democracy. She shares how her journey in corporate America took on a different turn when she reflected on what she can do as an individual to make a difference in this world. Saloni also reflects on how she is raising her daughters to be educated and responsible young citizens, and gives us specific actions that we all can take, in the days to go before the U.S. Presidential election.

TRANSCRIPT

Saloni: [00:00:00] I started getting that knot in my stomach, thinking about the fact that I hadn't engaged before the last election and that I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I wanted to do whatever I could just like the prior time I had no idea what that looked like or could look like. I just knew I was willing to do anything.

Archita: [00:00:21] You're listening to Saloni Multani.

Meha: [00:00:24] Welcome to The Nine Oh Six. I'm Meha Chiraya.

Archita: [00:00:27] I am Archita Fritz.

Meha: [00:00:29] And where you're co-hosts for The Nine Oh Six, a podcast where we interview career driven, women who are mapping their own unique success stories, making an impact in both their professional lives and in their communities.

Archita: [00:00:42] Saloni Montani is the Chief Financial Officer of the Biden Harris campaign. In her career spanning over two decades, she's focused on venture funds and investments, including an increased focus on sustainability in the for-profit world. She also is a mom to two daughters.

Meha: [00:01:02] In this episode of The Nine Oh Six Saloni underscores for us why we all have a responsibility in playing our part in our democracy. She shares how her journey in corporate America took on a different turn when she reflected on what she can do as an individual to make a difference in this world. Saloni also reflects on how she's raising her daughters to be educated and responsible young citizens and gives us specific actions that we all can take in the days to go before the US election.

Archita: [00:01:33] We all resonate with the story of an individual for different reasons. And this episode of Saloni story is deeply personal for me. I'm an immigrant in America, but my husband and my three kids are citizens. I have family who live in and contribute to the economy in America, but I don't have a right to vote. But the vote of those that do can have an impact and how my family, friends, and I are treated, respected, and our voices heard allowing us to participate in the American democracy. I'd urge everyone listening here today to do your part in this election. Here is Saloni Multani.

Meha: [00:02:18] Good evening, Saloni. Happy Sunday.

Saloni: [00:02:19] Thank you.

Meha: [00:02:20] Thank you so much for joining us. Yeah, so actually one topic, I was really curious, I wanted to touch on. You have such a prominent role right in this campaign and we are in this pandemic, virtual homeschooling. How do you sleep at night?

Saloni: [00:02:36] It's been an interesting stretch. I started this role in May. Obviously we started sheltering in place in mid March and my household is definitely a partnership.

I will say more than it has probably ever been a partnership. It is a partnership now. I made the decision to join the campaign within 24 hours of getting the call on it. And so it was a quick decision, but it was one we made as a whole family. And my daughters look at me and say, mommy, you must really care about this a lot.

Because you're not sleeping very much and you really like to sleep. And I said you're right, it's true. You know me very well and I look forward to sleeping again one day. And so it's been a balance. I miss them and I don't see them as much. I'm grateful that I can do this work virtually and at least see them at least see them every day.

I'd say it's challenging kids, adults, humans. We are all going through kind of an emotional arc that I don't know that anyone living today has ever lived through and the kids are too. And so that's the thing that I struggle with because they're going through an emotional arc that I'm just not as present for as I would like to be.

They're feeling it intensely. Particularly now that the summers past and school has started again and it started virtually and they don't see their friends. It's tough. It's something that I know that I'm missing. That I'm sad that I'm missing, but they are right alongside me. My nine year old is like ready to get on the phone and make calls.

She's like, tell me who I can talk to mommy. Tell me if I, can I talk to them? Can they, can I explain to them that this is how a kid feels? Do you think that would convince them? And so they're deployed as little, you know, mini campaign assets whenever they can.

Meha: [00:04:32] I love hearing that because one of the things I was also reflecting on and with some friends is that  we keep hearing that every single vote counts. From your perspective, what does that actually mean?

Saloni: [00:04:45] I think we've all heard the statistics on how many votes decided the last election. Right? The reality is there's over a hundred, well, over a hundred million votes that get cast. And so you say, Oh, my single vote doesn't matter.

And so I always like to just say, take it as an extreme, say, everybody decided their vote didn't matter. And obviously the system wouldn't work, but also think about fundamentally, what are we doing here? Like what, what is this? This is our representative democracy. It's what it's supposed to be and how possibly can our democracy represent us if we don't make ourselves known.

And I just think that to me is what fundamentally you say every vote counts. Not only does it count, it doesn't work without every vote. A democracy cannot be representative if we don't make ourselves known, if we don't show up. And so I just feel so strongly that this country, like the possibilities of this country, the potential of this country is limitless if it is a truly representative democracy. And I think the values that so many of our generations prior came here for are embedded in this notion of us continuing to be a representative democracy. We don't have that right now. We have a president that was elected with a minority of the popular vote. Our Senate is so imbalanced relative to the population of this country.

And if we then take that and our signal from that is we're going to disengage. To me it's just completely not aligned with this concept of us having a representative democracy, which is the fundamental reason why we all are here and want to make our lives here and want to make our kids' lives here and why our parents came to make their lives here. So I just, I think we have to make ourselves known. Are there flaws? Of course there are flaws, but the flaws are not self healing. The healing the like salve to the flaws is that we engage and make our democracy be representative. All of the pieces are there. Like all of the structures are there if we all engage. And the one thing I tell folks is if we all act, we have the vote, the question is, are they passed? We have the votes and so the thing I keep telling people is not only does every vote count, every vote has to be cast because if every vote is cast, the outcome of the election is unquestionably going to move this country in the right direction. And look, and some of that is systemic, right? It's systemic voter suppression, it's systemic injustices and so I don't mean to downplay any of that. Voting is hard, but I think we can't expect things to move if we are not willing to put in the work.

So we have to put in the work and the starting point of the work is voting, but the next step is saying, we are going to actually put ourselves out there. We are going to put ourselves out there. We're going to make it known what we want and what we want this country to be. And we're going to make it known to everyone in our network, what that looks like.

And we are going to educate ourselves so we can educate other people about why this matters and why we think they should vote the way we believe. And to me, if we all do that, a representative democracy will work and things will move forward. And if we don't, there is a real risk at wall. And so we, we can do this. No doubt we can do this.

Meha: [00:08:20] What are specific actions, do you think that we can take in our communities beyond just voting as individuals?

Saloni: [00:08:26] So I've got a punch list that I send folks right now, starting point is voting and voting in a way that feels safe to you, given everything that's going on in the world. Confirming our voter registration, don't take anything for granted and getting yourself set. So first step one, get yourself set. Step two, make a list of everybody you know in a swing state, go to fivethirtyeight, go to a website that lists swing states, and literally sit down, force yourself to sit down with a pen and a paper and make a list of everyone you know in a swing state and make a plan the same way you make a plan to vote. Make a plan for how you are going to contact each and every person on that list and make sure that they have a plan to vote.

If they can be educated or you can educate yourself first on the Biden Harris administration policies and why you think they are the right ones for that individual person and what their concerns are, start with your network.  I think phone banking, text banking will be my number three, but my number two is make a list of the people you know cause those personal conversations via direct contact voters are far and away the most powerful contacts there.

And truly, if we all did that with our loved ones and our friends in swing states, we would win. I live in California, I'm not in a battleground state, but I can make a list of everybody I know in Georgia and in Pennsylvania and in Texas. I can make that list and I can call those people.

And I was born in Michigan. Like I can make that list and I can reach out to those folks and I can do that. If all of the folks who feel this way did that, we would win. So that's my number two. My number three is once you have exhausted that list, And once you have done the work to educate yourself on what all the tenants are of the current platform we have so that way you can counter when people make statements that are a product of misinformation or are a product of lack of understanding of what the actual policies are. You can respond to them from a point of truth and from a perspective of candor. Then go and sign up to volunteer. There's so many different ways to do it.

You can start at joebiden.com volunteer and you can go there and you can sign up for a phone bank, a text bank, writing postcards. There's so many different ways to engage. There's a number of other organizations who are doing voter reg efforts. If you're doing it now, there's still times you can do voter reg efforts.

You could do Swing Left, you could do Pod Save America. There's endless numbers of ways. Do it feels authentic to you, but know that it's not easy. And so I think a lot of people are like, Oh, that sounds like a lot of work. Yeah. Our democracy is a lot of work. It's a lot of work. Sorry. It's a lot of work.

And I know I'm not actually, sorry, not sorry. I'm not sorry. This is our democracy and yes, we all have our day jobs. But if these things matter to you, if you felt. Like you had a knot in your stomach in 2016, that's only gotten tighter and tighter and tighter and tighter since, it's work. And preserving our democracy, which is what I think is at stake right now takes work.

Look around the world. Look at how fortunate we are to have the bones of the system we do have. It didn't happen by accident and it won't continue to happen by accident and don't leave the work to other people. I will say, as somebody who is new to having anything to do with politics, I am here because I care about this outcome so deeply, but it is remarkable to me how much inbound I get from folks saying like, why don't you guys do this? Why don't you guys do that? And actually on another podcast, I heard someone say we are all the Biden campaign and that made me pause, I was like, you're right. We are all the Biden campaign.

We are, we're all individual advocates. There's nothing to stop us. If I think about how decentralized fundamentally, like this apparatus needs to be to work, we're all the campaign. So you can decide you're on the team or not, but don't think that you can leave the work to someone else. We're all the campaign.

If you want to be. Do you want to be? You're making a choice if you're not. It's not that nobody asked you. It's not that nobody reached out enough. If you care, you were on the campaign, do the work.

Meha: [00:12:56] We have to take accountability to preserve our democracy.

Saloni: [00:12:59] Exactly.

Meha: [00:13:00] Bottom line.

Saloni: [00:13:01] It's on all of us, on all of us. And by the way, it's now. Now or never, leave it on the field. This is not like a corporation where you can try again next year. Try again next month. See if things are better, learn from your mistakes. Nope. One chance, we made a mistake in 16, at least I did. I didn't engage enough and we either learn from it or we don't, but this is it.

Meha: [00:13:29] So I'll be honest. So when I was in undergrad, 2008, we stormed the streets of Ann Arbor when,  Obama won. So coming kind of growing up into adulthood from kind of the Obama generation. Four years ago I mean, I did, so actually I did take part in some get out the vote efforts at that time. It wasn't enough because we did not think that would happen and then now four years later, I just feel that people are just feel so lost. I don't know what to do. But I think honestly, your three step plan, especially that second piece where we all have the power to influence our own communities and our network. Too often I think we jump to, myself included oh, we got a phone bank, text bank, write postcards. Okay, great, that's nice and it feels good, but we have the power to impact the people in our own communities.

Saloni: [00:14:15] And it's hard, so much harder. Those personal conversations are so much harder because the anonymity of postcards and phone banking and texting is a luxury. We don't have the luxury of anonymity.

We actually have to put our souls out there and say, we believe this so deeply. That we are willing to actually expose ourselves to actually the folks closest to us. My dad, who's never engaged in politics and is like quite conflict averse and is just, you know, so respectful of everyone. He wrote this letter that he is sending to all of his friends, that he wrote out, why he feels as strongly as he does.

And he says, you know, I love you no matter who you're going to vote for, but these are all the things and all the reasons why I feel the way I do. And this is a man who never asks anyone for anything. He's the first there, if you need help and for him to put that down, on paper. And to read those words.

This needs to be deep. It needs to be raw. That is the stakes. That's the stakes we're talking about right now. We are truly, I think this is a fight for the soul of our nation, for our democracy, for a country that is at least moving on a path to embody the values that we all care so deeply about. And so we have to do the tough stuff.

Meha: [00:15:52] So Saloni getting a little bit into the impact that you're making on the Biden Harris campaign, Chief Financial Officer, what does that role entail?

Saloni: [00:16:00] I mean, fundamentally the job that I have is to not only kind of spearhead the financial operations of the campaign, so that is ensuring we pay all our bills, get all our wires out, pay the right vendors, pay them on time, pay them the right amounts, et cetera.

It's complex to say the least and operating several different bank accounts and reconciling those pools of money. In addition though, the other big scope of work we have is just being the budget arm of the campaign. And so it is about staying connected with in this massive enterprise in this virtual world.

What is everybody doing? How much are they spending? Can we pay for it? We actually don't know how much money we're going to have to spend because we are raising it as we spend it. So unlike a startup that raises money, puts it in the bank has a nice little plan that they spend against. We actually rebudget every day because we need to look at what we raised today and what that implicates for the balance of the cycle.

The other really fun element of a campaign is we end at zero. And so unlike a company that would have buffer literally even in their cash balance, the way that they operate our goal is to leave nothing in the tank in every way, all of our energy, all of our emotional energy, all of our sanity is going to be left out on the field.

And of course, all of the contributions people have given with the objective of impacting this outcome need to go to their highest and best use before November 3rd, which is the day that matters. And this time actually. Voters are voting now. So every day has mattered for a long time, but the focus on the days now is just tremendous.

So it's wild. We're just trying to do everything we can to support the campaign, allocating its resources and being good stewards of all the donations we've been fortunate enough to get in this fight.

Meha: [00:17:46] So you had a high powered corporate career in finance right up until this point past couple of decades. So what was that transition like?

Saloni: [00:17:53] I spent my career in investing. And so I was at a number of different private equity firms and then at a public equities fund. And then I spent really coincidence with the '16 election where the day after I was pretty numb. Candidly, I think it was sort of the moment that shattered my, it's like the day you realized your parents are like people and fallible.

It was this moment where I realized that our country and everything, I had a bunch of things that I had come to take for granted in terms of outcomes, resolving the way that they should. Not everything, but the big stuff that we would get that, right. It was this moment where all of a sudden that seal kind of got broken.

And so I pretty much, the day after the election decided that I wanted to try to align my day-to-day work with my personal values in a way that I candidly had never thought about doing before. And I didn't really know what that looked like or what that could be. And so there was a lot of just putting that out in the universe that this is what I want to do.

But I don't know how, and I don't know how what I have to contribute is at all relevant. And I was fortunate enough to reconnect with someone who I had worked with in my very first job. And he was looking with some of his personal capital to really up his efforts in philanthropy. He's very active in democratic politics as well and he was really looking to continue to grow those efforts. And so I plugged in with him and supported those efforts really in the context of a family office for a few years, really focused on climate and sustainability, which happens to be an area where capital flows are fundamental to transitioning our economy to a decarbonized economy.

And so it felt like there was somewhat of a fit there where my expertise was capital. And here was an area of acute need clearly in crisis where perhaps my background could actually be helpful in furthering the cause. And so I spent a bunch of time in and around the climate ecosystem over the past several years. I was in a couple of different roles in companies that have fundamentally sustainable business models, working with a venture fund making investments on behalf of that family office. And really what happened was as we started approaching the election, this is post COVID post quarantine. I started getting that knot in my stomach, thinking about six months ahead and thinking also about the fact that I hadn't engaged before the last election and that I couldn't live with myself if I didn't.

I wanted to do whatever I could. And again, just like the prior time, I had no idea what that looked like or could look like. I just knew I was willing to do anything.

Something you mentioned right now, Saloni, the thing with the climate ecosystem and corporations or companies that have sustainable business models.

Meha: [00:20:54] So many of us, many of the podcast listeners for The Nine Oh Six do work in the corporate world. Could you help us understand why this, an issue that we should care about?

Saloni: [00:21:03] I mean, fundamentally for me, it's about humans existence on the planet. It's funny. I think you hear a lot of people talk about, we can't sacrifice, our current wellbeing or our livelihoods for the planet. And the planet is referred to as this sort of separate and apart thing that only if you're like a tree hugger, do you care about. I was listening to a panel done at Stanford and one of the pallets made this comment and he said, I'm not worried about the planet. I'm worried about human's existence on it. And I thought that was such a good way to frame it because the planet will be here.

The planet isn't about to implode. The Earth's core isn't about to come and cause the planet to explode. Let's be very clear. Working in climate is fundamentally a self-interested activity to preserve the human race. You know, we're not doing this for some inanimate object known as the planet.

We're doing this for ourselves and we are doing this for our quality of life and future generations ability to inhabit this earth. And so I think for me, why care? I mean, why care about future humans existence on the planet? And you see different folks taking over front approaches, you see Bezos saying, well, my solution here is that who knows about human's existence on this planet, but let's see if they can live on the moon.

So like there are different approaches you can take, right? So that's, it's like, okay, good. At least humans can exist somewhere. If not current planet we inhabit and truly that's part of the rationale for why that mode of transport is so important. But I think that's how I think about it now.

Our long-term existence on the planet and future generations have been at the losing end of the externalities we create, by the way we live now. And because our free markets don't internalize the externalities of the way we live now and the cost that imposes on future generations, we fundamentally have a duration problem in our markets, right.

And we don't price these externalities by definition. And so I think, the way I think about it in terms of the role of the capital markets and the role of corporations is there's been this de-linking of you only do that when you're concerned about folks who aren't shareholders or you're somehow abandoning your fiduciary obligation by pursuing any activity in support of the health of the planet.

And one of the things that I find just in terms of reframing that it's no your stakeholders are humanity. They are humans. Corporations, aren't your shareholders, they're people. And so that's why I think seeing pension funds and organizations that do structurally have an obligation to future generations have been some of the, and have long duration obligations, have been some of the first to recognize that they do need to incorporate climate oriented principles into their investing, because it is a part of their fiduciary obligation. And I think for corporations as well, look, candidly, like we don't have the level of policy I think we should have. Obviously that's part of why I do what I do.

The policy we should have to ensure that corporations are fully held to a common standard and that we need policy fundamentally in order to internalize those externalities. And so as I think about folks who work at corporations and why they should care about climate, I think they should care about climate to the extent they care about humanity both today and in the future. And I think they should think about it as one of their fiduciary obligations and the way they think about kind of any other obligation they have for being in business. It's for creating outcomes for their stakeholders.

Meha: [00:24:55] So one of the things, Saloni, I often reflect on as an individual, we have multiple identities, right? Another identity is being a mom. I know your mom of two beautiful daughters. And especially during this pandemic time, I feel like there's, there's so many pressures as working mothers, right? We're so exhausted. There's so many things that we feel like we need to care about while also taking care of our family.

So even if you think about someone who's in the corporate world, but also a working parent, could you share your perspective on how we should instill. This focus on the climate within the future generations that we're raising.

Saloni: [00:25:32] Yeah, sure. I mean, it's something I talk to my kids about all the time. No surprise.

My kids are nine and seven and they hear a lot about it. We also live in the Bay area where we live with the consequences of our warming planet in a very real way. My kids had back when going to school in person was a thing they had at least a dozen shelter in place days at school last year, last school year, because they couldn't play outside because the air quality was so poor.

We have a home up in wine country that home almost burned down in 2017. And so, you know, the climate crisis has come very close. Literally close to home for us in a way that my children understand it just as a core part of who they are. I think in addition to that, what I find is just to try so they care because they see how it impacts their home and how it impacts people.

We talk a lot and try to find opportunities all the time to kind of incorporate it into the kind of normal course. So, you know, my daughter had a science project last year and we thought it would be really fun to look at the CO2 that escapes a soda bottle. And what we realized is that the warm soda bottle had a very different capacity to hold carbon as the sink than the cold soda bottle did.

And as our oceans warm, which you realized is, Oh my gosh, it's going to spill all this stuff out. She was like, wait, but that'll just keep getting worse. And, yes, that's the point, but what's very cool is you can find moments to actually help kids become, have this be, have the science actually be a part of what they innately understand and believe and climates obviously been sort of bizarrely politicized. I think you can help them appreciate it as given that this is something that we caused, but that we can also mitigate we're putting in a solar system in the back of our house right now, the battery's in the garage. And so my kids, it's just kind of a part of the reality we understand.

And I think the other lessons that we talk a lot about, because we see them in a micro way, what happens to people when their house is burning, what happens to people and they have to evacuate. Now, imagine you live in a country where you farm and what do you think happens to the land when you're a farmer and the land gets dryer?

Well, you can't, where do you go? I don't know where you go. And so you can start to actually approach some of these broader societal topics with your kids too, just by starting with some of the stuff that is closer to home. And then without overwhelming them, it's a different conversation with my seven year old from my nine-year-old, but starting to help them extrapolate how this is actually impacting the world.

And I hope fostering some kids with a global citizen mindset and kids who care that what they do impacts others.

Meha: [00:28:25] And I know that they're learning a lot just by observing you as a role model.

Saloni: [00:28:30] What they're learning, we're not sure, but they're hopefully learning something that will help do that.

Meha: [00:28:38] So going back to the concept of identities, I feel like my corporate identity, despite, you know, after George Floyd and Black Lives Matter at a greater focus, I think everyone, diversity inclusion belong, but I still feel like it's a bubble, Saloni. It's still a bubble. And I just, I actually think I want to take two, three weeks off the end of October just to focus on my own life and getting out the vote.

But do you have any thoughts on that? Like, should we, given what's at stake, should we be talking about politics at work? I'm not sure.

Saloni: [00:29:09] So work, look, we all also have to make sure that we protect our livelihoods and protect our immediate family. And so I think I defer to everyone in terms of their individual, particularly their, at their corporate networks on how they want to balance those things. I think a lot about kind of friends and family. You can find one to two steps removed folks who you can have those tough conversations with and it's emotionally hard, but you're not implicating your sort of personal financial situation. I am fortunate to be in a position where I could step away from everything else.

I had turned all those things off to do this. That is not a position everyone can be in. And that's why to me, the personal network thing of writing down, who you know in battleground states, again, putting aside maybe the work folks. That is from a time perspective, like the text bank and the phone banking, or like I have to block two hours and sit on a phone bank and sit on a text bank.

These are like, when you put the kids down, you write 10 emails a night. For the next 20 nights. And you reach out to the 200 people you know in swing states and you say, I really care. This is what I believe. I would love to have a conversation with you about it, if you don't believe the same. If you do, here's the information about how to vote safely in your state, and please forward this to your friends.

Send this far and wide, like here's a bunch of links. Here's a link to swing states. Here's the link to how to volunteer and look, if you can donate, I think flipping the Senate has never, ever, ever, ever been more important. I mean, it's almost like I started this, what feels like an eternity ago, in May. And if you think about what's happened since May, you know, the racial justice crisis, that has been a crisis that has just entered the forefront of all of our consciousness, even though our Black and Brown friends have been living this day to day, our Black friends in particular have been living with day-to-day for ever.

You know, the continuation of the COVID crisis. The, it just is like, then we were in the middle of, of wildfires here and then RBG passing. It just felt like gut punch after gut punch, after gut punch and look, nothing is going to be a panacea, but it does feel to me that I have been, I feel super fortunate that I have had an outlet to direct my devastation and feel like I am hopefully contributing something to this cause that I fear otherwise I would be debilitated by it's hard not to feel really debilitated some days, candidly. It's just been such a devastating series of months. And so whether or not that's a two week, you know, sort of compartmentalization is obviously not a luxury that everyone has, but I would say be empowered by the fact that you can do this hard, intensely personal work to try to move this country forward. Feel fortunate that we live in a country where it does matter and do that work and put yourself out there and do everything you can that you know on November 3rd, you couldn't have done more. But you couldn't have done more in the context of all the other competing forces we all have right now in our lives.

So it's not a guilt thing. It's more like an empowerment thing that we do all have the power to impact these outcomes. And we should all feel agency and the outcome, and we'll get this done together. Know that there's a broader movement that we can all contribute to right now. I think for me, the very recent realization I've had is that you do have to speak out in the universe, what you want. Because it cannot come if you don't. And part of speaking it out into the universe is admitting it to yourself and it is terrifying. The person who is the most terrifying to admit stuff to is to yourself. And so for me, there's been like a few of these, like walking off professional ledges.

And I have definitely had moments where I felt not great about where I was, and that is the inevitable flip side of stepping off a ledge and feeling like maybe you haven't quite landed anywhere yet. And it's a new feeling for me, but it is a good, it has happened a few times where I it's just it's clicked that I'm like, if you don't speak. If you don't speak out what is in your soul it can't manifest. And so I feel that same way when I talk about like how people should engage in this election. It's like, if you don't speak what you want out loud to those closest to you starting with yourself. And if you don't start with how much something actually means to you saying it to yourself and then saying, Oh, wow, this means a lot to me. To the point where I'm going, I'm willing to actually become vulnerable to the people closest to me to articulate how I feel and what I want. You can't manifest the change you want. And so it's, it's scary. I mean, scary is the wrong word, but  it is a heavy time and we all feel like there's a lot on us as it is. It is actually lightning to internalize and then try to manifest what it is that you want.

Meha: [00:34:25] Accept it to acknowledge it and then figure out, okay, let's do that.

Saloni: [00:34:28] And then say, I actually, now that I have absorbed how much this means to me, because if you meant it, here's how you can help and I care and just put it out there.
