You, I think, were like between third and fourth period or on lunch break.
And you did a podcast recording with us in front of, I don't know, a quarter million people or something like that.
And now we fast forward, I don't know, a year and change later.
You just sold your company.
You just sold your company for how much money, Zach?
5.7 million in January.
So if you were to multiply by 12 and say like what we could do this year, you're talking about like a 50 million plus revenue company, but 30 million last year.
Dude, that's amazing.
Like, you know, just the way you say it, you say it so calmly and like a grownup, but like, can we just take a second, Sam, just to be amazed and just give the kids some props.
Like that is incredible.
You're a teenager who built an app with your friends
got it to $30 million in annual revenue, and sold your company just now to MyFitnessPal.
Okay, so you're a freshman at Miami.
And I believe, by the way, I remember being outraged on Twitter by this.
I think I was one of your defenders here, where you applied to a bunch of colleges you wanted to go to, and you got rejected, which is insane to be a teenager who's got an app that's doing tens of millions in revenue, and the college admissions office was like...
We didn't like your essay or whatever.
Your SAT score doesn't show that you're exceptional.
Obviously, you were exceptional.
Can you tell that story of maybe facing a little bit of rejection and how that felt?
Why do you think that was?
