And then also like, what's really cool is that we have a lot of people in our community, about 30% of our community is, is women.
And people like Chloe.
And so like the cool thing is like we developed this career coaching program.
And the reason is exactly like we built it for everything we talked about today.
So here's the general observation that I made.
So Chloe is someone who spent 10 years in tech learning all of these lessons.
And learning them the hard way.
And what we sort of figured out is like there's a lot of lessons about how to communicate.
Am I going to work all weekend to remove the bottleneck on Monday morning?
We have literally heard, I don't know if you all remember, we had an interview with a developer who's always burning out, and we literally heard the other side of the story.
And so the problem with life is that there's a lot of stuff that we need to know, but no one is going to teach us.
And if we are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like Chloe is and just thinks, stupid me, if I show up at work and try to help everyone succeed and try to build a good product, then people will reward me, right?
But that's not how things work.
So we built this career coaching program.
It's a really interesting experience from our end because when we first launched it,
Very few people signed up.
And so we were like, oh, maybe people in our community are not interested in career coaching.
It has been the one thing that we do at Healthy Gamer that has steadily grown since we launched it about three years ago.
