I agree. I think, you know, one of the things with what I have now, if you look at it as chat with your database, build reports. That's not really solving a problem. Like, what is that? Like, that's cool. But what is it? Like, what is the problem you are solving? Like, what can you do with that? I think general, like some people, so chat with your database is not in any way unique.

Everyone's doing that. And a lot of the companies doing it are trying to position it as the data analyst for your company. I don't think that's right because I think that is still too vague. People are still like the whole point of hiring a real data analyst is they tell you what you don't know that you don't know. So I think you're right. I think this is all about exploration.

This is about finding out what tools they're using that maybe aren't good enough. It might be an aggregation of tools. Like I can see a world where it's dump everything in BigQuery. Like I do it for you. Dump everything in BigQuery and I sit on top of BigQuery because Looker gets really expensive really quickly. So... Yeah, I mean, but this is, again, this is like the beginning still.

It's just good to remember like for most people that don't quit, it eventually works out. Like most people, if you look at these success stories and you really dig into them, like most people that don't quit, it eventually works out.

So right after we recorded and we recorded so quickly on the heels of the co-founder breakup, I was, I was pretty upset. Like you're absolutely right. There was a lot of stress. There was a lot of anxiety in terms of what to do next. And my immediate gut reaction was, I need to walk away from this idea. I need to walk away from this name. I'm just going to do something else.

Like I have other ideas. I'm going to pursue a different idea. Yeah. And it had been a while since I had shipped code. And so I really, I was having a little bit of self doubt about what it takes to get an app from zero to paying authentication, the whole deal. And so I wanted to ship something and I wanted to go in a different direction. And so at that time, I had this idea.

I used to be a podcaster and we always had this problem finding and managing sponsors to the point where we literally stopped taking sponsors because the overhead was just too much of a pain. So I started going down that direction.

Sick burn. I kind of, yeah, I don't know. So I launched it, launched on Twitter. So I tweeted about it once and I did start DMing people because I know everyone podcasts, right? And so I am fortunate too that I actually know a bunch of people that own podcast hosting companies. So it was kind of cool to be able to go right to the source and talk to those guys.

And what I found out when I was doing that is podcasting is a tough market. Low margins. Podcasters are broke. So the fact that they would shell out additional money seemed unlikely. It could have been... I think it could have been like a productized service. But still...

It's not like if I'm going to do productized consulting, like I should do it in rails and make real money, not for podcasters who are like, I'll pay you 20 bucks if you find me a sponsor that'll pay me 200. Like the math of the business model just didn't seem like it was going to work out.
