Corey, welcome to New York
City podcast. Thank you for having me. I don't really like being on podcasts, but here we are. And so I thought I'd maybe interview you. Go go go. Maybe it could be, you know, back and forth.
Love it.
Let's go. But but maybe just to to set the the the the virtual stage, maybe you can just summarize in, like, two minutes what we just talked about on our tour. And then from there, I I I'll I'll dive into some of the questions that that that I was thinking about on our in our walk.
Totally. Yeah. So briefly, as we know, it was easier to start Netflix and reform blockbusters, easier to start Bitcoin than reform the Fed. And I believe it's easier to start a new city than to reform San Francisco and may even be easier to start new countries than to reform America. And at least with 99.99% of people working on the reform path, we should have some small fraction of people working on the path for building alternatives, which tech is good at. Right? Peaceful reform by just building an alternative and then, you know, the customers of the old come to the new, the parallel institu
it. And so how's it going?
I think it's going great. I don't know. Give me your impressions. You were here. I think it's pretty cool. Yeah.
Yeah. So I just got here, you know, less than an hour ago, and my, you know, Instagram versus reality is I thought, you know, it was going to be a little quiet and and not that many people. But but, in fact, when I arrived, it seemed to be like a bustling sort of place. Yes. And so I was surprised to, in a very good way, to to see that. And so I guess how do you think about success and KPIs for this place? Remind me, how long is it it's how long has it been been a
place? Just a year. Just a year or so. How long has it been I I think this has been a place, for about a year. We opened Network School 09/24/2024. Right? Cool. So it's just a little bit over a year, but a year and a month. Yep. And I think we have succeeded in bringing people from more than a 100 countries here. Mhmm. And, basically, I think it feels like SF. I think it like the good parts of SF. Kind of like walking into a tech cafe.
