Q And I said, you can only come on if you have an idea. Yeah. And your response was, I've got something I can't get out of my head. And, uh, so what's, what's going through your head?
A So I have had this idea for a number of years, which I don't like, actually, I don't like it because I think it's good, but it's ugly in a sense in that, like, I actually don't, in a sense, I don't want to see this idea in the world, but there's something about it that seems so simple and That it would be so popular that I can't get out of my head. So here's the idea. First of all, it's advertising based, which I don't like to begin with. So the whole, the whole premise of this, I don't like. Okay. You know, scratch off tickets, right? Uh, you know, little lottery tickets, whatever, right? My, my, my kid, my son loves the, we get them every once in a while, five bucks worth and scratch them off. Right. And so it kind of hit me a number of years ago, like that whole act of scratching something off is a very fun thing. It's one of the few Like cheap mysteries in the world. Like for a buck, you can like, you don't know what's going to happen. It's very rare to find that these days. So I like this idea of scratching something off. So I thought that you could make an app. Okay. That is basically, actually, let me step back for a second. I don't like ads and I don't like ads typically because they tend to be in the way they're always like in the way of what you actually want. But I'm like, well, what if, what if you can make an ad that is the product? What if ads could be the product…

Q How much do you think about marketing when you think about an idea? How much are you thinking about how am I going to get the first 100,000 people to download this?
A Uh, I don't think about that at all. For me, it's like, um, is the idea any good? I don't, I think it is. Do I, I don't know. Let's build something and see. And then it's like a, a goosebumps feeling. Like, I think we're onto something that, that to me is the best feeling in product development. It's the feeling of, I think we're onto something here. We're working on a current product right now, which I can't share many details about, but, um, we just played with an idea. It's so hard to be so abstract here, but we play with an idea around images that in this category of product, this is not an invention of a new category. It's an existing category. But in this category, images are not typically part of the vernacular. We found a way to make images like first class citizens in this category. And it's super unusual and weird, but like when you do it, you go, oh, we're there's, we're onto something here. There's something here that that's what I think about is finding those there's something here moments. And then I always feel like I've managed to build up a large audience on some, on Twitter and LinkedIn, let's say, and, and, and maybe a few other places. I feel like I can get the word out. And I feel like if it's any good, other people will then get the word out. So my, my interest is not in how do I market this? It's how do I make this really good? That it will market itself …
