In the year 2023, Jim Fogliano high fived 15,338 people in just 24 hours.  That's a lot of people to high five in one day.  Unrelatedly, there's a YouTube channel that I helped to start that provides free educational resources that are used in pretty much every school in the US and many schools internationally, the whole goal of which is just so that teachers and students can choose whether or not they want to use them and not have to have like, a contract with the school system that could get canceled or whatever.  

This is wild to me.  Crash Course exists because fewer than 10,000 people decide it should.   They say, I want people to have it for free, but I can pay a little bit for it.  The number of people who have, who make that decision, is fewer than the number of people Jim Fogliano high fived in 2023.  

Chester, can you believe that?  I can't believe you.  This is good.  

Those 10,000 people were the reason it exists and I'm very grateful to them.  I hope that you are also grateful to them, but there's also the question of will you be one of them this year?  If you think, maybe, the Crash Course Coin campaign is happening right now.  It is our biggest fundraiser of the year, it's where most of our crowdfunding comes from, and there's a link in my bio and you can check it out and I would appreciate that.
