What do you mean by chasing generational wealth is overrated and wealth is underrated?
I'm not chasing generational wealth. I don't need hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars. This came to me a couple of years ago. We got offered a $100 million blank check to basically scale out late checkout and build out a bunch of new products faster, acquire faster products. Just take our model and just add steroids to it.
And we turned it down and the VC basically called me up like sweating bullets. He goes... People need a sip on Jonathan Jice Cream Courtney.
Yeah, I'm going to just start calling myself J Ice Cream now on your podcast.
I like calling you Jice Cream.
Yeah, that's not what I intended when I created my gamer tag, but you can call me whatever you like, Craig.
Well, that's the internet, bro. That's the internet.
It's your podcast, dude.
