“You need to know that [investing] a really hard path and if things go well it’s fantastic. But there’s also a very good chance that they won’t go the way you expect. So just know that going into it and think about your own financial situation. Go into it eyes wide open.” (22:01) (Allison)
“It was really important to me that we also did outbound efforts to get in front of founders and that we took all the barriers down for a founder to get in front of us.” (28:36) (Allison)
“There’s been such a need for escapism since Covid started and also just this boredom that people feel and trying to figure out how to fill all of the time where you’re at home.” (37:09) (Darrin)
“What really excites me just thinking about it through an Audible-specific lens is connecting creators with listeners.” (42:35) (Darrin)
“What has been exciting about all of this over the past year is that so many more people know what a podcast is. I think for us, so many more people are excited about spoken word audio and even understand now what Audible is doing. And so, if they’re using Audible and Clubhouse and other apps, that’s exciting.” (48:25) (Darrin)
