significant revenue and significant market capitalization over time.

So those gave me a really unique toolkit that I think the true entrepreneurs who found companies and retain 100% control will actually struggle to develop in some ways in a privileged way, because you can only get some of those lessons if you have a true boss with positional power over you.

And of course, I continue to learn these lessons with our next partners at the Chernin Group with folks like Maureen Sullivan.

And so getting those playbooks was very powerful.

I feel like I got a pretty cool playbook here of both the lessons from a classic founder and the traditional corporate private equity playbook that I can merge and be fun to see where that takes me in the next 30 years of my career.

I think it was just the rate of experimentation.

It's a rapid application of the scientific method and everyone terms it differently in terms of what they're doing, but it's how quickly can you get something out to market, test it in front of folks and move on to the next thing.

I mean, we tried so many things so quickly as individuals in those first couple of years at BiggerPockets.

A podcast was one of those things, right?

A YouTube channel was one of those things.

What was that social media platform that came up that was

All audio.

Yeah, yeah, that one.

Yeah, Clubhouse.

Those types of things.

You're just always trying experiments and there's a high rate of failure and they're shutting down.

And that never ends, but the prioritization, I guess, shifted later.

It was those types of experiments that we're coming out with.

Artifacts, documents, webinars.

It was just an amazing rate of testing.
