Q but like our goal was to sort of broaden This whole medium. And today there's over a hundred and fifty million people listening to podcast on Spotify. And obviously your show is a huge success. Uh, and something that people kind of attracts people to the medium because it's both pretty broad these days, but also very, very deep. Like w w what do you think contributed to that success?
A Well, you guys entering the industry for sure. Um, but I think you hit on it with like broad, but like when Ben and I started this, we thought, you know, we used to talk about what our TAM was. We were venture capitalists. We're like, what's the TAM for acquired? Not that we even thought about it as a business or a product, but, um, and we're like, I don't know, maybe there's, what, what's the population of students in business schools out there? Maybe that's our TAM. And then we were like, well, I don't know. Maybe it's a little bigger than that. Like maybe, maybe it's, you know, everybody who ever wanted to go to business school or was interested in like, okay, like what, what's that cap out that like a million people, maybe a million, a million felt like RTM and what's happened to us. And, um, I'm curious, I think you guys have probably seen the same thing is that even though we think we're super nerds and we tell these very esoteric stories, They're just great stories. Right. And people of all types want to listen to them.
