What happened during those nine months is we've actually built up a wait list of thousands of people who are waiting for access to Circle. So there is word-of-mouth going around. A lot of our early community builders were talking about Circle publicly to their audience, which got a lot of other creators interested, in Circle and led us to finally launching the product. Post launching, we went from almost 0 to a million dollars in annual recurring revenue in three months. I've always seen myself as a generalist. You know, I started off as a writer. I then became an engineer, then became a designer, then became a PM, then a CEO. My advice to all young founders is to, number one, be curious and stay curious. It really starts with curiosity. It really starts with what are you interested in? What do you wanna learn more about? Before you even end up with a passion or a dream. And as you find yourself exploring that curiosity, you will find certain things that you're passionate about more than others. And the thing there that most people get tripped up on is, you know, when you start something, you're not very good at it. So when you start writing or when you start coding, you're not very good at it, but you know that you can be so much better. And the key to solving for that is to do it for the long term, see it as an infinite game. Don't see it as something you're just gonna learn overnight and master. Everything is very iterative. Everything takes time to build. You know, you have to put in your ten thousand hours or twenty thousand hours to really good... Get good at something. And really, if you're curious, your curiosity will keep you motivated every step of the way. There will be bumps on the road. There will be moments where you feel like you're not, succeeding at something or maybe you're not even getting better at something. And you do have to sometimes just suck it up and and then try to move on from that because that's what all the great people do. If you think about the the best sportsmen or the best athletes, the best actors, the best entrepreneurs, it's really in conquering the hurdles that they continue to get better and evolve as human beings. It's the journey that's that's most important. The destination is not incredibly important. In fact, there is no destination. We're all on a long term journey.
