I had this weird feeling of inadequacy.

Like, is this the biggest startup that I can create?

Am I just a $3 million guy?

And there was a lot of frustration because,

I don't know everybody's experience who's early stage, but I was stuck at this 3 million number, and then somebody would show up in my life that ran Facebook ads, and they'd be like, the solution for you is Facebook ads.

I can get Facebook ads going.

None of it would work, no matter what.

Facebook, UX, UI, knew this, knew that.

None of it worked.

And I'm going to just tell you how I got unstuck.

This company, well...

You could argue whether I'm stuck again now.

But all of the lessons I learned along the way in doing so is what I'm going to share today.

So let's start.

The key pillars of this speech are going to be getting to 22 million ARR bootstrapped in 48 months.

And then why I am now launching a new company.

It's not quite a pivot because my team is still growing in that business.

And then this whole thing that everybody talks about me, this LinkedIn thing.

By the way, like five months ago,

Nobody would have said that about me, and I wouldn't be on stage right now.
