You obviously went through a crazy story here.

What's the closest you came to running out of money?

You're doing about $6 million of revenue.

If someone came and offered you a Forex multiple today, so $24 million all cash up front to sell the business, do you take the deal?

Hey folks, my guest today is Vlad Malanin.

He's an MD, PhD, and is a surgeon turned AI scientist and CTO, co-founder of Speed Size Today, which is an award-winning startup transforming media optimization, think metadata, for 200 plus global brands.

He blends tech, neuroscience, and real world impact together and is a Forbes Technology Council member shaping the future of AI.

Vlad, you ready to take us to the top?

Yeah.

All right.

So give me a sense or two what Speed Size does.

AI media compression, guys, to translate that for those of you that are not neuroscientists, we all visit websites with e-commerce brands more now than ever.

These e-commerce brands are not using just still images.

They're using rotating animated graphics for products or things that change colors when people scroll or things like that.

It appears Vlad is helping make sure those pages continue to load fast.

Vlad, is that accurate?

In terms of compression, let's jump into a real example here.

You have some really big brands listed on your website.

Everyone knows sort of hookah running shoes or let's do Crocs.

Everybody knows Crocs.
