so the next question comes from Ali who asks why did you start podcasting and how much money do you make from it honestly the reason the podcast started was kind of selfish because I wanted to learn from these people and then very quickly I realized I really enjoy having these conversations I get so much energy from it I can do like four podcast interviews in a single day and people are like don't you get tired I don't really get tired because I just get to ask interesting questions that I'm myself interested in and we just record those conversations and then they benefit other people as well so the podcast is fantastic for that and then in terms of how much money we make from the podcast we'll put the numbers here so this is the total revenue of the podcast and this is how much money the podcast cost and therefore this is the profit that the podcast brings in every year it's probably not major compared to the YouTube channel or the courses or the other things that we do but it's a super fun thing to do and I feel like it adds value by virtue of me being able to interview these cool people and share it with you guys so that's why we do the podcast
