    I didn't, and to be honest, after going through 10+ years of interviews and articles to find the growth nuggets, I wasn't exactly looking for them. One thing, that I mentioned in t…

    Thousands of startups have been saying this _exact_ same thing for 10+ years in real estate. Out of all those that tried, only two have had major success. Why? Entrenched interests…
