I think like, what are some of your other memorable moments working with Jason Calacanis at This Week in Startups?
Yeah, so Jason and Molly— Molly Wood was my other boss there, and she was just as involved as Jason was, like, in the day-to-day process. But under both of them, you know, they have so many years. They might have— they might be like some of the people that have been within like the radio and podcasting space the longest that are still extremely active. So just being able to learn under people that are so legacy within this niche of media was really cool. Before coming on to This Week in Startups, I had my own podcast and I remember like I was talking to Jason being like, hey, what did you think of like my podcast? I don't even know if I mentioned it actually. I think he, he said he listened to it like before I joined the team. Yeah. And I think he said it was like a 7 outta 10 or something. And I remember being like, oh man, I'm getting a 10 outta 10.
