that we can support which is great see the potential you know same thing we've been talking about over and over again so now now team members become more people that we can do this supporting thing with and for them to write things they're obsessed with and passionate about and then for the rest of the world to benefit for the people being profiled hopefully to benefit

If we tell the honest stories and we want to tell the hard parts and the interesting parts.

It's been successful beyond what I ever could have imagined.

I think it's important to note when I started with the first idea, everyone said it was a stupid.

I mean, literally everybody said it was a stupid idea.

When I started the podcast, everyone said it was a stupid idea.

When we started Canvas, everyone said it.

I think if people say something is a good idea, I always get a little nervous.

Because if it sounds like a good idea, it just feels you're in a more competitive space.

It's going to be harder.

I think the key is stuff that sounds dumb but isn't.

And I think that's what I would – starting a magazine in 2025 I think falls in that category of sounds dumb.

Magazines are dead or dying.

But the thing underneath it was this desire to –

have more ways to do the thing that we love to do, which is find people, learn about them, tell the world about them.

I suspect it won't be long until that's much bigger than even the podcast, which itself is very, very big.

The surprising thing is I think you want that to be the case.

What specifically?

That's true, but the reason for me is almost so obvious that it's uninteresting, which is, well, if a bunch of other talented people are doing this and then creating these things, first of all, I'll have more of them so I can enjoy them more and I'll get to enjoy it just like everybody else.

I can't tell you how fun it is to get the first draft of one of these things in Slack.
