The million dollar question right from the get go.
1:49
As you're asking this, it's funny because I start flip-flopping in my answer of, oh, I'm really good at this.

And also I'm terrible at this, like at the same time.

And I had said to Matt, like, okay, if we're going to do this, it needs to be our thing.
13:03
Even though he wasn't working in it full time, like the way we think of it needs to be our thing.
13:09
It can't just be my little side hobby.
