Tune in for an in-depth look at what worked, what didn’t, and lessons learned to take into 2025.

I was waiting for your 2nd half report.
This year has been mostly a dud.
Many companies didn’t make heavy cash moves due to the election.
Why did you sell the domain purchased for $5,700 for only $10,500?
In the three years that I’ve owned the domain, I’ve seen the type of companies that reach out and what their budgets are. I realized the potential for a much higher return was limited.
I’ve learned often what I pay and what it sells for are not always related.
Often you’ll pay $5K for a domain, thinking 10x and can only sell for $10K.
Other times you pay $500 and sell for $5K.
When the cash is on the table, sometimes you take what you can get.
Exactly
This industry is so random.
