Where did your vision come from?
What's the backing behind it?
I have always been a person who has been into like editing
and proofreading.
So I was the nerd in English class
that like enjoyed going through Shakespeare, right?
Everyone else was like, this is stupid.
Why are we doing?
This is pretty cool.
I love this.
Can we do more of this?
And I was the guy in college who would, you know,
proofread their friends' papers for fun
just because I enjoyed it.
So the vision for this really, I mean,
it's just part of my personality and just my own skillset.
But the vision came actually out of COVID
because I had a prior career in the corporate world.
I was 15 years, I was in the corporate world.
The first 10 I enjoyed it, the last five I hated it.
So I desperately wanted to do something different,
but I was afraid to take action.
So COVID took action for me.
I lost my job like so many people did.
And I said, okay,
I don't wanna go back to the corporate world, please.
Like, I don't wanna do that.
What else can I do?
And so I kind of went back to this idea
of proofreading and editing.
And I thought, well, maybe people would pay me to do that.
And it turns out people will pay to do that.
So really it was an opportunity for me to do something
that actually aligned with who I was and what I enjoyed
and also provide that value and benefit to the world.
And it was something that because of the internet
and because of sites like Upwork and other things,
I had the opportunity.
So it was kind of that Venn diagram, right?
Right in the center of the Venn diagram.
For me, it was proofreading, editing, writing.
And so that's really what started the vision
was realizing I could do it,
realizing that there was a market for it
and realizing that I could actually grow this thing
and help people and make the internet
a slightly better place, right?
That was important to me.
