The way that we organized our team, it set us up for success in a lot of ways.

I mean, COVID for some artists was pretty devastating.

Whereas for us, we were like, let's raise a fund.

Yeah, yeah, great.

And so I think the problem with that, though, was that we became the CEOs of Chainsmokers.

And I think this relates to like, probably a lot of successful founders journeys.

I was talking to the founder of the company who's crushing it right now.

He was like, all I do is HR.

He's like, I don't build shit anymore.

All I do is hire people and it fucking sucks.

And I was like, kind of know what you're going through.

We're on so many calls about internal politics.

I think we're actually making really solid strides to fix that, to go back to being chain smokers instead of the CEOs of the chain smokers.

Naturally, entertainer athletes have these platforms that people are drawn to for different reasons.

And I think when it relates to investing, you're seeing a lot of CPG, social creator economy type stuff.

And initially for us, that was like, cool.

I remember my business manager, Josh, was like, basically you invest and you just hopefully make a bunch of passive income.

How

How sick is that?

You know what I mean?
