Very excited for part two of what was a great conversation almost six years ago.
It's crazy to think we we covered some ground in that previous conversation from the founding story.
To the mission of Rockt.
The insight from your time leading Jet Star about the opportunity about merchants and advertisers at the transaction moment.
That was late twenty nineteen and I remember it vividly, mainly because soon after that the world changed dramatically.
And this may feel somewhat irrelevant to a listener sitting here in twenty twenty five, but I bring it up because to me it showcases so much about Rocked as an example of the culture and the leadership of the business.
You can imagine for a business that, you know, had a large part of its revenue derived from
live ticketing or travel, you know, that disappeared overnight with lockdown.
So, you know, in my mind it was a moment of existential threat, but you managed to emerge the other side resilient.
and in fact dominant.
It's easy obviously talking about it in hindsight, it was a a terrible time for many, but I I do think it's worth getting a glimpse as to your own psychology at the time.
That enabled you to emerge so strongly.
And it really set the platform for this dominant position that as you just described emerged to to really give you a permission now
once travel and and live entertainment of course did come back and you had this now huge
retail business and and offering as well, i in my mind gave you permission to build upon that singular transaction moment that the business had been built upon.
And, you know, if we fast forward six years now, you really have, you know, five moments around the transaction instead of one.
You you've built a a full suite of AI powered products.
And so if you look around that transaction moment, from the moment a a consumer's making a selection for a good and service.
to the ability to cross sell or upsell both first party and third party inventory.
You know, choosing a payment provider, there are so many of them these days, to give the best option to the consumer.
