[ MUSIC ] You've really been in the trenches as an entrepreneur, there are so many people out there trying to start their own companies. What is one piece of advise before we go, you would give an entrepreneur who's really trying to get something off the ground? Well you're being really nice with the word couple that is two. We've been at it for over seven years. That's true. And it's been a tough ride so I guess that's part of it which is you need to follow your passion and not just be inspired by potential money and an exit. Because there's a lot of ups and downs as we saw with the market crash of 2008- 2009. But probably one of my biggest pieces of advice would be to think really big. Start really small and iterate quickly. Too often, people aren't thinking big enough or they're trying too hard of how large they're going to launch, so just be really precise with a small launch and keep on learning.
