Let's get some wholesale inventories crossing.

And we're getting some new inventory data in just a few seconds.

We'll get you those numbers when they cross.

CEO of Compass is with us.

We'll get his reaction to existing home sales data today and his outlook for the 30-year fixed, which is at its highest level in more than a year.

company, there's a little bit less room for change and for impact.

And then kind of pivoting to something like a Compass or a Jasper, now where I'm currently working, it's this kind of scrappy mentality of whatever it takes to get the job done, you really can have an impact in what you are working on.

You can work on different projects.

You can raise your hand for things.

Is there like a specific example?

There's a couple.

There's one, for instance, when I was at Compass, we had this, we had so many people within the office of the CEO.

We had a chief of staff.

And the earliest days of the company was, like I said, there was a hunch and hypothesis around this.

And some of that was formed and shaped at companies like SoFi and where I was at Compass immediately before founding first, really surrounded by customers who are making some of the most important and significant financial decisions of their lives.

listening to them talk about money, their ambition.

So I had hundreds of conversations with people that got prenups, people that got a prenup and got divorced, people that got divorced and wish they had a prenup, people that were embarking on the prenup process, whatever it might be.

And I wondered if you could think back on your HBS experience.

I know you've had a long and interesting career in tech before this.

You worked at Google and Facebook, and you mentioned SoFi and Compass.

Was there anything in your HBS experience that maybe nudged you or gave you this thought that you might pursue entrepreneurship at some point?
