In this brief segment, the speaker reflects on the journey of product development, concluding that true value resides in the core product rather than peripheral efforts. He likens the nascent product, named "Sallie," to a newborn baby that demands constant, undivided attention. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of disciplined, head‑down work to nurture the product through its infancy, warning that as the product matures it will attract more ideas and distractions, but the current priority is to protect its early growth.

So I've gone through that scattered and this, that, this, that, and seen ultimately where the real value came from. You know, looking back, it tried and tried and tried. The real value came from this core, this core product. The other thing right now is that Sallie is in its infancy and just like a, a human baby, I really need to nurture that and I can't find myself, uh, distracted. And so once Sallie gets to be a toddler or a teenager, I'm I'm sure my brain will start to freak out a little bit more, more ideas, more distractions and whatnot. But right now, every time I try to turn my head, right, this child cries, if you will, it needs attention. And so I'm staying head down, very disciplined on it. So both experience and just the stage.
