It's my theory around starting that podcast.

Podcast primarily was I have access to some amazing people.

And, you know, as an immigrant coming out of no contacts, no networks, it was really, truly like.

I'm pinching myself when I have access to these amazing folks.

And so I said, look, other people don't have access to these people.

Let me just put the messaging from these people out there in case it, you know, helps other people.

So that was, that was the idea, but point taken.

I have like 15 in the backlog.

I need to learn from you.

Well, so, um, I understand all the pain in, uh, podcasting at every stage as you, as you do.

So, and most of the podcasting tools out there were more around discovery, but not many tools around creation and selling to companies.

You know, if you go talk to like a New York Times or a large corporation, I mean, even though you and I are figuring this out, they actually have no clue, right?

Like not to name one organization or other, but large corporations, that's not their core business.

And so someone like Art19 demonstrated that they could not only work with those big companies, but also what they do that's very interesting is they put a marker.

And so large corporations have the ability to take sponsors and attract ad dollars from

What's hard in podcast today is you have to edit it, edit it out every time.

What R19 does really well is they allow you to put these markers and then you can swap these ads in and out anytime.

So I love that dynamic approach around being able to change your sponsor on the fly and then working with enterprise is something that they really excel at.

That's why they work with some of the top podcasts in the industry.

Well, you start 19.
