My First Million · Brainstorming business ideas with a billion-dollar founder · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

I think it peaked at like 30 or 32 million DAUs.

And at its peak, I think like 15 or 20% of people on Facebook were using it or had used it.

Farmville 2 came out with a lot more lessons and mechanics and made more revenues.

I know Farmville 2 did over a billion in revenues.

No one at that time thought a video game

You know, definitely not a casual video game could do over a billion in revenues.

And I remember trying to explain that to Fidelity.

I'm like, that's going to be a normal thing.

Like, three million a day, baby.

That's going to be the new benchmark for a good game.

But...

You had a question I really liked that was like the beginning of this whole thread.

So I hired this PR firm because I said, I don't want to have my fur coat moment.

I don't want to be on the cover of Fortune.

And the fur coat moment came from that movie American Gangster.

When he's in the front row at the boxing match in the fur coat, he's on the front page of the New York Times and everything goes downhill from there.

Like, I don't want to be on the front page of anything.

I was the equivalent of that.

This 41-year-old retired guy that's not supposed to be doing anything important, that's when people were writing articles saying, can you back a founder over 30 in consumer?

And so I just didn't fit the narrative.
