Q Now this, you don't all have a, you know, rosy stories on all your startup ventures. Cause the last imagine on the show is probably four years ago. You were at a company called inspire beats. What happened there?
A Inspire beats was, it was a lead generation startups to give everybody a little backstory where we were selling leads every month. Um, and that was doing really well. It was over a million a month. Um, very, very quickly. We were getting like all these companies in Silicon Valley. Um, the problem with it though, is it wasn't a SAS, right? It was an agency which required A lot of work on the back end to fulfill. Um, and I, I wrote about this in the book, actually the founder, uh, that was running everything, you know, cause I, I was a minority partner. I had 10% of this company. The founder was handling the accounting. He was handling the books. He was handling the production. He was handling even a lot of the sales stuff. Um, he went fully, like fully insane, uh, to the point where he was committed to a mental hospital. And, uh, two, three months of nobody running the company and me not having access to bank accounts to refund customers, me not having access to anything, um, would be enough to basically ruin the company's rep and, and, and shut it down. So.
AI assessment note: “the point where he was committed to a mental hospital. And, uh, two, three months”
