A fun discussion with an early domain buyer.
Have you ever passed up acquiring a domain only to kick yourself later? This week’s guest can probably one-up you.
Jeremy Padawer had the opportunity to buy x.com for $10,000, only to have Elon Musk beat him to it. On today’s show, Jeremy tells the story and several other great stories (including ones with no regrets!) from the early days of domains and websites…such as buying Jeremy.com.
These days, you’re more likely to find Jeremy at a toy store than at a domain conference. He has helped bring lots of popular toys to market in his career.
It’s a fun conversation!
Also: No more Google Domains, D3, Team Internet, ICA and more

Hi Jeremy,
Back in 1999, were you used to hang out at the Greatdomains chatroom?
Might have met way back then.
What a great story, nicely articulated Jeremy. Opportunities were everywhere.
