Thank you.

Hope everybody had a good lunch.

Big shout out to Nathan and the FounderPath team.

Thanks for having me.

Excited to be here.

One of the things that really piqued Nathan's interest about me talking at this conference was my approach to product.

And whenever I find myself building a product or a business, I start with a press release.

So back in 2013, I had worked at GoDaddy and one of the first things I did on day one was wrote a press release.

And my boss comes up to me and he says, where'd you learn that?

What do you mean?

Like I just,

school of hard knocks.

I don't know.

It just makes sense.

I want to find my aha moments and what we're going to actually build and, and stick to it.

So, you know, when we think about like, what is rocket, you know, we've gone from zero to, you know, over a million in ARR, you know, we cleared 101,000 last month, just an absolutely incredibly Epic month.

And one of the things, you know, a lot of the things that I want to talk about is, you know, patience, discipline,

and strategy, right?

So when we think about, you know, who are we, you know, we were founded in 2020, um, largest customer, 110,000 ARR, pretty unheard of in the hosting world.

It was a new one for me.
