B, it made me realize that if I'm able to, if I'm struggling with that, and it's a massive social pressure, and that's one of the things that CreativeLive aims to do.

That's what my personal work has been around promoting content and, sorry, creating content, promoting the lifestyle of the creators and being able to live a life

that you love around your passions.

To me, what if we could break through that cultural messaging that's told us that we can't, that we shouldn't, that it's risky, that all these, you know, I think it's a bunch of misinformation.

So I learned that, you know, that's my billion dollar mistake.

And that's one of the reasons, the flip side of that horrible, horrible outcome of basically just shutting that app down.

I still could have made a lot of money.

To me, the outcome was a better outcome to shut it down, learn from it, build into something new, which is now CreativeLive, than it would have been because I would have been entangled in a little legal dispute, but more importantly, I would have had to go to work for a company that acquired it.

And that wasn't my passion.

My passion focus was very, you know, very clearly on creative live.

So the flip side of those downsides are creative live.

And I learned a hell of a lot.

And now I'm, I got more juice to go help other people break through some of those problems.

And if you're in that group that doesn't have all the privilege that I have, you know, how do we help them disproportionately?

That's why creative live has a free aspect to it and why I put out so much free content.

Specifically, I owned all the intellectual property.

There was no misunderstandings about that.

But when you write contracts about software, you can't actually predict what releases 10 and 11 and 12 are going to look like because they're a year down the road.

And I just specified that the developer needed to do a release and not the content of them.

So I can't really blame myself.
