What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're morning pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollock. And today we're going to talk about the Oakland Athletics. If you weren't aware, we made a big announcement yesterday on the website that Lifetime subscriptions are here. I talked about it yesterday on the podcast. It talked it on the OTC. And yeah, go check it out. It's essentially four years appeal pro, then it's free for life after that.

And you also get an awesome hoodie and a mug and shirt if you want those instead.

But really, it is your way as a community to put your foot down and say, look, I want to support what you guys are doing.

And we will be forever grateful to you.

And it's also the way for us to to really not go to outside

investment and to change a risk in any way, change how we function as a website. This is something

I'm so, so adamant about. I've seen so many startups go for the VC money and try and get

out in five, 10 years or whatever.

They have to change what they do.

They have to pay off investors and thus they need to become more money grabbing and do things that are worse for the user, but better for the short term result of paying off investors.

I don't want to do that at all.

I really truly do not. And the easiest way to do that

in this creator economy is to look to you guys, the listeners, the community to fund this as

best as possible to make sure that you get something back for that. And this was the best way that

I could come up with to make it accessible to you to say,

look, if you believe in us, then this is the best way to get what you want, which is all these

amazing things that we're developing. I'm writing this article now on the live stream, actually,

as I record this podcast, which includes me talking about the mobile app that we're developing,

the pro dashboard, which I'm not going to go too into detail in, but essentially just think of it as the greatest fantasy baseball tool you could ever imagine.

With all the data that we have in one, we are also exploring a lot of plans for creating our own fantasy baseball platform.

Among other things, I mean, the baseball bar is something that I've talked about for a while.

And all of this stuff I've explored personally, and I see how it would all work.
