Well, we ended up abandoning the idea of a half-hour show because of where the media would run.

How GoPro Went from $300k to $600M In Sales in Weird Way with Ron Lynch Ep 8

We hadn't run any media yet.

We were getting ready to build this half-hour show, and we went, hold on, let's do spots instead.
