If you take the ideas that I got from Daniel who you mentioned before at Spotify about how to build software,

from Brett Victor, who I mentioned before about this principle for great software and what it looks like.

and from a guy named Chetan Pudugunta at Benchmark, one of the partners at a very storied investing firm called Benchmark, who taught me how to sell software.

Just those three guys.

I basically just stole their ideas and applied it to my situation, and it worked to a spectacular degree.

I didn't know anything about software.

I'd never built software before.

I had an amazing team at the time that was able to pull it off.

But the direction of the resources and what to do strategically just came from asking, you know, those three or three of the greatest in the world at what they do, how do I do this to somebody that could help me?

And then not thinking too hard about what they tell me and just doing it and having it work.

And so there's a tiny example, you know, three people.

Two out of three.

I've never met Brett.

Okay, so two out of three.

Yeah.

Yeah.

These ideas came from conversations that you had on the podcast?

No.

I didn't ask them this stuff on the podcast.

But in time spent just offline with them, I'll never forget.
