Like at the time it was like gather Facebook and Instagram followers and then drive them to Facebook events is ironically the thing that we were doing. That's how we were making so much money.

I was surprised it was really easy to make a million dollars. I was really, really surprised that it's incredibly hard to make $10 million.
