“So I did end up investing. I actually, I think I passed the first time. And so I, what I did was I passed the first time because I was like, ah, I don't know how big this can get. And then we started using it for the milk road and I use it for my personal news…”

“And I did not invest in them. And it's one of the things that I'm like, oh, I should have done that.”

“Markets can trick you. Markets can look small and be bigger, but founders or teams that operate like this, That's like always a good signal. And so I'm like, let me just bet on the known versus not bet because of this hypothetical unknown thing.”

“Yeah, I did invest in Beehive also.”

“I think we both passed under 10. I realized my sins and I came and I said, Father, forgive me. Let me invest after I started using the product.”

“I had the opportunity to invest in this when they first started, and I passed.”

“And I think having an enemy, whether it's real or fake, right for us, it was the skin and the hustle. I think it's really, really important. You know, beehive has convert kit. And I think it just motivates everyone just a little bit more.”
