My philosophy from the very beginning has been that nothing valuable is free.

EP 600: Konversai Raises $1.3M Helping 800 Teachers Make Money With Marketplace CEO Sushma Sharma

So if you make these boxes, there is a charge for it.

So I want to feel I want to make people feel accountable for what they are putting up that, hey, even if you want to donate your time, you want to make it free.
