Ymir only exists because Taylor built...

A few hours after I sent the last report saying how grateful I was for the partnership, I learned that Paul Carter, the CEO of BuiltFast, had died suddenly. I can't claim to have known Paul well. It hasn't even been a year since BuiltFast and I started negotiating our partnership. That said, I tend to be a good judge of character, and I...
