Can I ask how many sales total you have so far?

Yeah, close to 100,000.

That's a ton. When did you launch?

At the beginning of this year, we only really started scaling very recently, right? Can I just do that math? I mean, can I do 100,000 sales times 60 apiece. You guys have done six million bucks in total revenue life to date? I think this month, yes, we're in the six figures. Everything else you see is custom built. My guest today is Ricardo. He's the co-founder of Dream Stories,

harnessing generative AI to bring immersive storytelling and image creation to life. So I started noticing this repeatable pattern that I figured, you can build services around this, right? You know, something that grows with you and kind of, you know, matches the phase that you're in. Before launching the company in 2023, he was VP of growth at a body scan startup called

Neko Health.

Prior to that, he founded a snack company and was a founding member of Spotify's US team.

Ricardo, you ready to take us to the top?

Absolutely.

All right, people hear Spotify and early and they assume you got rich off options.

Is that accurate?

Fairly accurate, yes. I was early enough that it made sense, yes.

What year was that?

So I joined in 2009, I guess. Yeah.

Okay, interesting. And is it fair to say, because I want to understand they buildup

obviously to dreamstories.ai. Did you basically take a big chunk of the money you made there and sort of plow it into the new venture?

Or how did you think about that, those options?

Yeah, no, part of it, yes, but I did start a few companies in between as well that I've also had an exit for.

So a mix of both, right?

So the Spotify got the car and the house, you know,

and then the other stuff got the company going.

Fair enough.
