Transcription:

Paul Kirby: We started Gandhi House in… almost a year before we started Logos. And it was a result of a lot of the people that were coming through Logos, that, you know, were artists, both graphic,  writers, as well as photographers. And we all realized that we had this incredible pool of talent. And at that time, we really wanted to start something that would ignite, you know, everything we had.
