But yeah, You know, if you have something that's working, most people just don't want to touch stuff that works, especially in the hosting realm. And I saw like, you know, I say growing up, geez, I'm really dating myself now. Get off my lawn. But, you know, my first job out of school was like working at this company that had hosting and email and websites and all that kind of stuff.

And I mean, just pulling in a fortune on hosting. It's just because people don't, they just want it to work. As long as it works, they're not going to change stuff, you know? Yeah. And so when I look at Fireside and I think rock solid, that's why I think it's amazing to me.

You know, let's say it's basically not been marketed or like worked on actively, like aggressively, maybe in two year and a half, two years, two and a half years. I don't know the exact dates because I don't. This is a different situation than like a typical acquisition where you would do intense due diligence. I'm like, I know the person.

I don't know the exact dates because I don't. This is a different situation than like a typical acquisition where you would do intense due diligence. I'm like, I know the person.

I know the person in between that person and me, which is, you know, I know Dan, I know Garrett, and I know Garrett worked on it for like a year and a half, a couple of years ago. So he knows it well. And so I'm like, there's confidence in the code. A hundred percent. I'm like, this is not getting into a mess. I don't need to like, you know, select Count Star, the number of podcasts.

Exactly. So, all those things make it rock solid for me.

Exactly. So, all those things make it rock solid for me.

Yeah. So we're super conservative. So like, I would say like a lot of people are like, Oh, like being an entrepreneur is so risky. I could never do that. I couldn't start my own thing. And I'm just like, I'm the opposite. I'm like, it's the easiest way for me to reduce risk. Cause I'm like, then like you can control things.

So, so for myself, when I look at like, what are we going to do with Fireside? I'm like, initially, like, we're just going to let the dust settle. So it's like, let's update some software. Like it's on older versions of Ruby rails. Again, just, just boring stuff. Let's show customers that we care. Let's be fast responding to support. Let's help people. Let's actually actively market it.

Let's actually actively market it.

That's, I think the biggest thing that nothing has happened with in the last, you know, like let's say two years is that there's just no marketing. And so I'm like, that's one of the reasons why one of the people that I want to make sure was, was in it was my friend Chris. Cause I'm like, that's what he does. He does marketing.

And so like, we'll get, you know, an email list going, we'll get like, you Things when you sign up where it's like, here's how you can better use us, like the normal things that like every SaaS app basically does to kind of hopefully increase engagement and usage and stuff like that.

Like there's a lot of low hanging fruit that I think we can do because it's kind of just sat in and in an awesome way, chugged along. And so I feel like that's step number one is like the rest of this year is probably like, look, let's stabilize it. Let's start building some trust back up that we're going to do things with it and talk about it.
