So, let's get into it.

And actually, Nathan, I think these might be the old slides.

Either way, we'll dive into it.

So this is 2009, and prior to this, I was doing a lot of internet marketing, created courses and different programs, and I really enjoyed software.

We created a couple tiny little software products

And I had the idea for, would it be cool if you could do like voice broadcasting the same way that you could do email autoresponders?

And that was like just this little idea.

And this guy, Ronnie, posted a comment on my blog at the time.

It was chrisperson.com.

And here's what he said.

And so this sort of blog comments turned into a partnership to create this product called Call Loop.

And Call Loop, the sort of original idea was just that, hey, how do we create a voice broadcast autoresponder, right?

So very basic, and this was the landing page.

I got invited to pitch at the VentureBeat event, and I didn't know anything about raising money, raising capital, nothing like that.

So I go to San Francisco on Market Street, and I'm in front of like 400 of the best investors in the world, and I bombed.

It was so embarrassing.

And I'm still trying to get that footage because it'll be like the best thing ever.

Anyhow, so we started this company and Call Loop just sort of 2009.

If you think about the idea came out 2011, we made a whopping $6,400, 2012.

And it was just this slow grind thing.
