| 0:00.0 | What if the future of real estate, media, and faith all collided into one platform? |
| 0:06.1 | In this video, I talked with the founder of pray.com to uncover how they're using technology |
| 0:11.6 | to build powerful platforms for community, content, and commerce. |
| 0:17.0 | So, Steve, you're a tech guy through and through, and you have this media background, |
| 0:20.8 | and you find this domain, this website that hasn't fully developed yet. So let's talk about that because what you did, you know, looks like a lot of people could do this. You know, they found a brand found a brand and you bought it and, and now you've grown |
| 0:38.0 | into this unbelievable spot. So could you start a little bit with your background and, you know, |
| 0:42.8 | how is it that you saw this opportunity? Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, you said, you mentioned a |
| 0:47.9 | couple of things there. Ken, um, one, I saw pray.com as an opportunity. It was an opportunity. It was a massive business opportunity.

| 1:55.0 | that was my jam. By the way, for USC, so not just in a small way, right? Like, you really played |
| 2:00.7 | football. That was it, you know, and, and I, right? Like, you really played football. |
| 2:01.1 | That was it, you know? |
| 2:02.3 | And I was like, I'm going to the NFL. |
| 2:04.6 | This is going to be my thing. |
| 2:06.0 | And unfortunately, my senior year, I ended up getting hurt really bad. |
