While getpodcastleads.com may not have been the runaway success she envisioned, it reignited her so-called shipping muscle. It was a necessary step, a rebound relationship of sorts that ultimately led her to her next endeavor.

Right. And that's something you and I have been talking periodically about. How do you get just a little more data or a little more information so you're not guessing? And you're not just thinking and ruminating, right? Because you and I can sit for two hours and guess what people are going to do.

And in fact, I think it was three weeks ago, you and I had a chat and you were asking the question of... I'm concerned. No one's using it. It wasn't launched yet. And I'm concerned. Are people going to be willing to hook up production databases? And on that call, I said, well, go ask them, right? Should you just launch? It was a question. Should you just launch?
