The following teaser is pulled from Revenue Report files, an audio archive of five years of Cubicle to CEO's quarterly revenue reports from 2020 through 2024.

Hey, welcome to our quarter to 2023 income report.

This income report covers the months of April, May, and June, 20203.

I think a lot of this has to do with the business model we have now versus then, then being like

a year or two ago. Because our focus right now is so much on growing our podcast, growing our

newsletter, both of which are free products to our consumers, there isn't a whole lot of
