"So we truly are a platform company. And so I've thought it was interesting to interview you in light of the current economic climate just this morning. I'm seeing even more headlines about layoffs. And I think they say that there's two things that are certain in life, death and taxes. So people are still going to have to pay their taxes, even if they're losing money. I don't know, but maybe there's fewer small businesses that are sprouting up. I'm wondering what kind of insights you've already kind of seen and in terms of how the economic climate is affecting your business and how you're thinking about planning for the year ahead. Yeah. Well, it is true, no matter what the climate you do have to do your taxes and we are here to help and one of the things that we do is we make sure you're getting your highest refund. And that, for most people, most of our customers is the biggest paycheck they get all year. So really, we're doubling down on what we already offer to our customers so that they can prosper. You know, our products are very resilient in these times because our customers need them. So when you are in a period where you want to budget more and you want to make sure that you are not spending more than you have, we have mint, which is a personal finance app that allows you to see your spending budget, et cetera and then pair that with credit card while you're getting to need alone, getting the best loan rates. I mean, our whole our whole strategy really stays the same. It's just doubling down on making sure that we meet our customers where they are to provide clearly what the value and benefit that are our products are for them, which are incredible during economic uncertain times. We do find that our small business owners are incredibly resilient, even in tough business climate. We know that during the pandemic, war small businesses started because they were getting scrappy and their dreamers and they saw it as an opportunity. And so we really do see a lot of wonderful resilience in our business model. So if everyone has to pay taxes, who is the addressable market everyone, like how do you think about who you're audiences across these different products and I also feel like there's a little segue 'cause I saw that you were ahead of marketing for Amazon Prime, which I feel like is also similar or maybe they're just trying to get eventually like every American home, perhaps gonna do their taxes through TurboTax or use mint or use credit karma. Yeah, you know, look, it goes without saying we have a very high total addressable market. Once you reach a certain age and spent and income level, you do have to file your taxes. And I think a beautiful offering we have is we do allow you to file for free. If you're a simple tax filer, you're going to be able to file for free. And that ultimately has our target audience really large. So we have over a 100 million customers on our platform who really

We're glad we're still happy that we did it because you know what i think. Major league baseball knows that people are watching. We're watching and they were put on notice that They can't do the kind of crap that they pulled in. Just get away with it so We we haven't given up. We're looking at options Seven and Hopefully we'll have more to report shortly so you off fighting for the small businesses that employ most of americans across the country. We have to get that take.

Record-breaking increases the price of a lumber and everything else how is this affecting and what is the reaction from small businesses. Oh it's just horrible. I mean the the impact on this. I mean especially right now. They're trying to pull out the post post the kobe. Eric here You know a lot of people are out. There consumers are spending you know with the money that they got some cases the government dollars but usually inflation reality is real. I mean the prices that they're having to pay for you know their their their goods and services and supplies You know now for energy for example They can't get labor because there they're frankly working against the government As the largest employer with all those checks or basically sending people to stay at home We have one One number for example has has three restaurants in southern florida. he had a temporary close to And the third one. It's him and his mom working to location because he cannot find people to work. And you're not offered them seven dollars an hour. He's offering eighteen dollars an hour. That's incredible and it's a double whammy isn't it. it's it's a double whammy of the unemployment benefits and then this increased government spending which is really just for their bodies isn't it. Alfredo oh my god it. It's just it's horrible. I mean you know one of the things is that you know seventy as you recall just a just a handful of years ago right The the american work ethic and the american worker really was the envy of the world right and in in a matter of bus. I i mean biden under administration. Democrats basically destroyed that because they are sending people to just stay home and wait till the you know the the the other kicking i in terms of dependent care and child tax credits and all that other stuff i was talking to steve moore.

They can't do that with small. Businesses represents everything we believe in free enterprise. The greatest you know the the great american experiment called you know owning your own business owning your own Way to make a living and they hate that because they can't control that and so that's why they're you know through tax increases trying to pass the mandated federal minimum wage I mean you name it. You know All the all the impact right now on inflation to your point. I mean it is. It is impossible right now to to be a small business owner and not feel the stress of the federal government on your back. Lost thirty seconds.
