  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. I mean,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if many of you have heard of this.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hadn't heard of it before, but I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was researching like niche jobs out of interest. And I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: came across Skip the Line, which is this business where
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the people there can actually be hired to wait in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: line for you. And based on some of the Articles
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I was reading, it's like if there are exclusive tickets
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that are going to come out and you have to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be there really early in the morning and maybe you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do that or don't have the time,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you can actually hire someone per hour to wait in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: line for you. And they can be the ones to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: try to get these tickets for you or be the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: first 200 of whatever. And I was just fascinated by this.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And that is people's job that they do that. They
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: literally are the patients for you. if you don't want
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to do it, or they literally do it for you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: if you can't make it. And so I reached out
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to Jennifer, and she was kind enough to talk with me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So Jennifer, thank you so much for being on the podcast.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Danielle. I'm really happy to be here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on almost your 300th episode. That's amazing. And so
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I'm here to kind of chat and get into it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So I have to ask, what, you know, you... Do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you get a lot of people who ask you, why
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: do you even have this business? Because my, I have
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I had my, my first
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: judgment on this was what a strange business. I was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: thinking like people don't even want to wait in line
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for stuff. And I, I mean, I guess because I've
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: always waited in line because I've never thought about asking
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: someone else to wait in line. But so my, literally
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: my judgmental cap came on right away and I was like,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: why would you even have a business like this? I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was talking to my husband about it, and he was like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: why do they even have people hired to do that?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Why can't you do it yourself? So I wanted to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: ask you, do you get that a lot? And then
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: how do you respond to that with like, no, this
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is actually something I think is beneficial as opposed to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: enabling some sort of impatience?
