Q to trust him. I asked Daniel about his strategy when he set out to build Spotify and bring both musicians and fans to the table. What was your theory about that inclusion?

A I was just really naive, to be honest, and, and like many other entrepreneurs, I didn't understand nearly enough what it would take to get this to work. So it really started with this, just, you know, being your own customer in the sense that I had this idea of the kind of product that I wanted to see in the world. And the way I articulated that to my team was what if we can build something that makes it feel like you had all the world's music on your hard drive. If we can create that feeling, we would have built something that's much better than piracy. So we're going to get People to consume it. Now the second part of that equation in order to not get shut down is obviously it has to work for artists.
