Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. Welcome to this week in startups. We've got a great interview

for you today with one of my most successful portfolio founders. Evan Zo is with us. He's

the CEO of Steezy. It's an app that teaches you how to dance. And Steezy graduated from our

launch accelerator back in 2018, part of the eighth cohort. We now have done 23 cohorts

of seven companies each, so the accelerator is doing great. And this is one of the breakout

companies. You know, we expect one out of 10, one out of 20 to break out. And he's one of those.

And he joins us to talk about the explosive growth in consumer subscriptions. We had great

success with Calm, then Fitbot and now Steezy. This is a really interesting category. And obviously,

dance exploded because of TikTok and YouTube. And we talk about content marketing, how to get

customers through making content, as well as what happened during the pandemic where they had

explosive growth. But before we get to that, two important stories for you. Governments are

cracking down on Binance, you know, like finance with the Bay. This is an unregulated rogue

cryptocurrency exchange that has a very, very shaky foundation. In fact, it's got no foundation at

all. We're going to dig into that. And maybe this is the black swan, along with Tether, people are

looking at Binance as a potential black swan for crypto. We don't know if that's the case, but we're

going to dig into why so many governments are banning them on this episode. And China has blocked

new downloads and DD, the Uber of China just days after their IPO. They haven't shut the service

down as the press major believe in some headlines. So we'll talk about that. Let's get to it.
