Q Matt, when you met Alex, what, what were you doing in the summer of 2014?
A I had done my MBA and then, and then become a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group, which meant that I would go and work inside of large companies and help them develop growth strategies or solve problems or things like that. But then I began to think about digital audio, and I was listening to a lot of podcasts at the time, and I thought every time a new medium comes about, New media companies get built. This is true across the last, you know, hundred years of history, and I thought someone will build a defining media company around on-demand digital audio and, like, why not me? And I told a lot of people about this. Not that I was starting a company, because Alex was much further advanced than I was, but just, like, that would be exciting. Like, I think someone's gonna do that, and I think it would be really fun. And I was, I told my friend Graham, like, Who had been a mentor to me back in my radio career, and he said, oh, you should meet this other guy, Alex.
