But I was following that Kickstarter program when it shattered all the records. I was an early Kickstarter backer for this product-- well, a whole bunch of products because I think it's fun. But what it promised sounded amazing, so amazing that a lot

500 we'd be able to give away. 500 we'd give to our backers . And we could sort of break even and get by and it would be OK.

So my father-in-law, he has no idea what I do in California. You have to think of your customers as backers , and let them drive to a larger goal where you give them a vision and say,

And we just kickstarted a science trivia board game with over 11,000 backers .
Earhart and Yuri Gagarin and JFK and whoever else I'm using, we progress through the eras of music, so medieval to renaissance to baroque to classical, your concept map in Google Sheets that you've been having your backers be able to give you suggestions for texts-- Yeah, yeah.
Earhart and Yuri Gagarin and JFK and whoever else I'm using, we progress through the eras of music, so medieval to renaissance to baroque to classical, And it's actually given me a chance to connect with a lot of my backers .

On the other side are what we call citizen donors, and then also corporate backers .
