Hey, here's the deal.

Before we get into the meat of this conversation, and before we bring in Destin and Emily Grassley,

who's going to join us for this discussion, I wanted to jump on the microphone solo to

just try to frame up what it is you're about to hear because this conversation is, I think,

both awesome and weird.

What is happening here is we recorded one night after this event called ThinkerCon, and

Destin, Emily, and I, and I think everybody else who is a part are still on kind of this

weird high where we're just ludicrously optimistic and excited about whatever the heck it is that

just happened at this thing.

And it feels like it could be one of those pivotal life-changing moments, even.

So I'm still feeling that even now, but it was very fresh on our minds when we recorded

this thing.

And so we're still trying to game it out and deprogram and also Destin and Emily both

planned this event.

So you're going to kind of hear them, you know, do a long high five about something that

was wildly successful.

So I didn't really know what ThinkerCon was all about going in even though I was invited.

So I'm guessing you don't totally know either, even though we've talked about it a little

bit on this podcast.

So the quick rundown is this, ThinkerCon was a two-part event that happened last week

in Huntsville, Alabama.

The first half was a private event for internet, educational content creators.
