  Speaker 1: Well, good afternoon, listeners. Thank you for coming on to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Lament of Hope podcast. As you guys know, we always
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: have so many interesting guests. And by the time this
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: one comes out, we're nearing our 300th episode, which is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: really exciting. But I'm talking today with Jennifer Goff, who
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: is the founder of Skip the Line. And I came
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: across this business and I was just so intrigued.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would say the majority is probably people
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: visiting or special occasions. Okay. Um, you know, if you're
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: visiting DC and you're really trying to maximize, you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: what you're going to do and how you're going to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: spend your time here waiting in line for, for something
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: just might not be worth it to you. Um, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: then the same with a special occasion. Um, we also
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: have local people who use us frequently for different concerts
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and they just can't make, make the, the line when
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it starts to line up because of work. Um, So
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I would say those are probably the majority of our clients.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Now, is there anything you wouldn't wait in line for?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Are there boundaries with the kind of work that you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: would do if someone wanted to hire you to wait
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in line? Yes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We try to stay away from anything that might be
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable or dangerous for our employees. And a lot of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: times I'll ask them if that's something they want to
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: wait for. It could be like a political issue. something
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: politically that they might not want to get involved in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: just because of the type of people that might be
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in those lines. But for the most part, it's pretty
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: fair game. We're very fair about how we wait in line.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We're not going to wait in line and have 10
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: people come up and take over one spot or anything
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like that. So we do try to keep it fair
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and transparent to the people around us.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So would you have to pay per person for how
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: many there are who want to be in the line?
