“Have you ever seen ads for this thing called Plaud? No. No. Could use a better name. P-L-A-U-D. I bought this thing. I don't use it. This is like an anti-endorsement. I don't use it. I think it's kind of junk. But this company has done $100 million in revenue on this device. The premise of this is it looks like a business card almost or this is what it did. It looked like a business card, but it basically is like a physical meeting recorder. So you could bring this to any meeting. You could put this on the table and it'll record your conversation.”
