Up next, I'm happy to be welcoming back to the CFO of American Express, Jeff Campbell, who has held his current role at Amex since 2013. Boy, it feels like yesterday, Jeff. We appreciate you returning once again to our annual conference as we really enjoy hearing your perspectives on the state of the industry.

I've observed American Express through 3 recessionary cycles, I guess, I'm showing my age. And I know we're not necessarily out of the woods on this one. However, I was pretty encouraged that you guys gave us some sense of where you might be out to 2022 if progress is made in the broader economy from here. Could you talk about what gave you the confidence to provide your aspirational target for EPS in 2022? Because I assume if you had no idea, you wouldn't have given us a perspective.
