I know that by the time this comes. 151 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: Out, it's a massive risk doing a brand trip like 152 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: this and such a huge event. Like the costings that 153 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: it's because it's in Byron Bay, I've put it in 154 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: a kind of difficult to get to spot.

We 159 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 3: work with a lot of influencers, but more like micro 160 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 3: influencers and new GC creators. So this is the first 161 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 3: time that we're like putting a lot of money into 162 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: like a marketing event and it will either be the 163 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: best thing ever, and I hope it is, because I'd 164 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: love to do it every year and make it a 165 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: little bit bigger and more amazing each year, or it 166 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: could be something that we do once and go yep, 167 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: never doing that again. 168 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: And either way you'll hear all about it both here 169 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: on high Schollers and big business. 170 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Matt.
