So you had to you had to tweak the program quite a bit to make it successful. And we had to do it the same way every time. And so we thought, OK, this is a recurring problem. You should probably write it down and just make it easy for people. So that was the genesis of the book. And the philosophy behind it was, again, killing things quickly. So that's why we named the book Wombat.

It stands for waste of money, brains and time. And the goal of it is to remind you when you're considering an idea. It might be great tech. It might be really clever, but it has to satisfy more things than just being clever or being useful.

It has to be a good use of your money and your brains and your time, which means that even if people would love it, if there's another problem you could work on that's worth 10 times as much, it's a sin for you to work on the smaller problem. You need to solve the bigger one. So we thought that it was useful to give people that rubric for trying to figure out which opportunity they should pursue.

How's it been received? Near as we can tell, great. One of the frustrating things about writing a book like that is that I don't get to talk to everybody who buys it. So I don't know what the people in Germany and Japan are doing with it, but I'd love to hear from you and tell me why you're buying so many copies.

My children dictate that now. I used to start Halloween three months in advance for some huge ornamental set piece. And now it's what my kids want to do. So my son, one son is obsessed with ninjas. Another son is obsessed with Star Trek. I've got a daughter who wants to go as a horse every single year.

And then I have a daughter who likes to mix and match things that make no sense. So one year she wanted to be a cat princess. Oh, nice. And another year she wanted to be a ghost, but covered with flowers.

The more controversial way I would say solve problems you can't buy your way out of would be if rich people don't have your problem, it's not a problem. Yes, that is controversial. And that's why I love you, Topher, because you do not shy away from controversy. Yeah, because if rich people have the problem, everybody's got the problem.
