And so, you know, that's like the core of monetization is like, what is my value proposition and how do I extend that into either telling you about someone else that shares that value proposition or offering you a good or service that is connected to that value proposition as well.

They're hard. They're hard to nail, right? Like, um, Throwing a good party isn't easy. And you actually have to think about how it functions, what it feels like, the venue, the food, the coffee. And Colin and I, our biggest bottleneck as entrepreneurs is taste. So like we have very specific taste. We're uncompromising with that taste.

Um, and I think that's actually across a lot of creators and creatives. It's like, taste is going to be your biggest bottleneck. That's probably going to limit us from building massive companies, but, uh, that's okay with me. Like I'd prefer everything to be on my taste. Um, But events have been also the most energizing thing we've done.

The way we've thrown them, too, has been really, really cool. We don't mass promote them. We promote them exclusively through the Publish Press, our newsletter. So typically, there's an RSVP link at the bottom of the newsletter. It's like, hey, are you in LA? RSVP here. And that's been really cool because it's kind of like a if you know, you know.

And we do these mornings called Coffee with Creators. And a bunch of creators show up. Typically, we have like 100 to 150 people creators and creatives show up. There's good coffee. You're having coffee. You're meeting people. We do fun, kind of moving the room around, doing prompts so people can talk to each other. And typically, we have a Q&A with a creator or some experience with a creator.

And what's been really cool is that as many as we can go to, because I enjoy it, Colin and I go, but we've also hosted these events in New York where we aren't there. And I think that's been some of the most exciting is recognizing that this does represent a community. This is like a community brand. And that opportunity for scale is super interesting.

Being at one of these Coffee with Creators mornings, in my head, I was like, in the future, couldn't this be happening in LA, Austin, New York, and SF all on the same morning? Of course not. Um, that's a really cool future. Yeah. It's a really exciting future.
