Let me know if you have any other questions or want to talk directly. - Q: Hello, thank you for your reply to last question.

A: Kim San Lee - you ask the best questions. We should do a podcast together so you can draw some of this deep thinking out of me and help me share it! I’ll break your question into parts. Question: So it sounds like you are making a bet that the future, firstly, is in video/media-rich content and web3; and secondly, that your focus within that will be on the creator economy as opposed to providing corporate or enterprise solutions. Would that be an accurate summary of your vision/business model... - Q: Thank you Richard! I am getting my MBA from USC and am taking an investing in new ventures class.
