But obviously, I don't want to... From my perspective or for Ben's perspective, it would just be unethical to...

tell the world how much equity he has i guess my key question is did you guys split it evenly or was it not even no i don't think it's a good idea to split it evenly to be honest so uh and since uh since i was working on this for uh one and a half years uh obviously uh that that was not an even split yep yep okay good that's helpful to know well hey ilia before we get to my favorite part of the show if people want to connect you personally online where can they do that

Yeah, absolutely.

So Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, all the usual channels.

I think you can you can just Google my name.

My name is not very common.

Yeah, not very common.

So you'll find me.

I have a personal blog.

It's just Elias Salmon dot com.

I write some some personal stories and things like that.

So you can find me there as well.

Yeah.

Time for five questions, I guess.

So I think for each stage of any startup, there is a book that works well.

It could be good to great.

It could be the hard thing about hard things.

All these books are great.

My favorite one, though, is this book called The Alchemist.

And I think this book, it's not a real business book, but I think it is because this book really helped me start my business.
