You need a Mormon at this point.

That's what you need.

So I tried it a little bit at EY, but then I kept seeing all these Uber for X businesses pop up.

This was when Instacart, Ship for grocery delivery, Wag Rover for dog walking, Postmates DoorDash for food delivery, Drizzly for alcohol.

We're in the era of the convenience economy.

Someone is going to do this for laundry and dry cleaning, and I'm going to hate myself if it's not me.

I did this in college.

I got the drive to do it.

I'm young.

I don't have any major responsibilities.

I need to get after this.

And so what I did instead was...

Called someone who I knew had my beliefs, deep trust with them, one of my childhood best friends.

But the difference was he's very good at marketing, sales.

I'm better at operations finance.

I can sell if I have to, but I'm better at putting models together, building teams.

Yeah.

And so I was like, you want to do this?

And we started tinkering on the website.

We started getting customers unintentionally in Charlotte.
