And so they're willing to give you actually fair market value for your company anytime you want.

Yeah, like that's exactly what happened.

And I just resonated with that fact.

And then actually, and this goes into Sean, what I was saying before.

So then the second time, so I was just, I was set on building the company until like a long-term enduring business is gonna bootstrap, whatever.

Like, let's just figure out how we make it endure long, long term.

Yeah, so-

On that note, we were thinking like, okay, we really want this company to last.

We probably want to think about making it freemium because any company that's been around for 10 years that's like really big in the app space that I could think of, they're all freemium.

So that's what we started to work towards.

And you know who's really good at freemium?

My fitness pal.

So I wanted to hop on a call with their CEO and say,

squeezed whatever information about freemium I could out of him, pictured us like catching up, but just try to ask him questions about freemium.

Reached out, got on a call, and they did not answer a single question about freemium.

And it makes sense.

I mean, like, it would definitely be not in their interest at all to help us, but...

Yeah, like they actually spun the conversation from talking about that to, okay, maybe something else makes sense.

Maybe the companies, maybe a partnership or whatever.

And that's how things really started.
