…Right, why not Google Meet? And somebody did ask me, they were like, "Why not a Google meet? Why not a Google group? Why not this?" And I was like, "I don't even know how to use these things outside." So I was like, "The server is the way to go. " And I remember when we stood up the server, actually, one of the things I was most afraid of is, what if nobody joins? What if no people come in and want to talk to us about the thing that we built? And so that was in the early days, very exciting to look back and remember day zero and now have 60,000 people in it. Let me tell you about a product called Sidebar. The most successful people that I know surround themselves with incredible peers. When you have a trusted group of peers, you can discuss challenges you're having, get career advice and just gut check how you're thinking about your work, your career, and your life. This gives you more than a leg up. It gives you a leap forward. Having a group of trusted and amazing peers was key to my career growth. And this is the Sidebar ethos, but it's hard to build this trusted group of peers on your own. Sidebar is a platform for senior tech professionals, director to C-level, to advance in their career. Members are matched into peer groups to lean on for unbiased opinions, diverse perspectives and raw feedback guided by world-class programming and facilitation, all running on Sidebar's technology. Sidebar enables you to get focused, tactical feedback at every step of your career journey. If you're a listener of this podcast, you're already committed to growth. Sidebar is the missing piece to catalyze your career. 93% of members say Sidebar helped them achieve a significant positive change in their career. Check them out at sidebar.com/lenny. Okay, so there's 60,000 in this Discord server. Any other traction numbers you can share? It feels like it's just going really well. I know there's probably a lot of sensitive information. Anything you can share about just how well things are going?…
