Welcome to Motley Fool Money, the podcast is even older, the Australia's premier online investment club. I'm Scott Phillips from the Motley Fool. He is Andrew Page, the man for whom, can we say the premier online investment club is named? Sure, we can certainly say he is the man who, once upon a time, woke up, like Archimedes, maybe in a bath, maybe not, that's your visual representation if you choose it, and said, Eureka, I have it, and invented strawman.com, the aforementioned premier online investment club. Mr. Page, how are you?

**Andrew Page** (0:44)
I'm very good, sir, very good, yourself?

**Scott Phillips** (0:47)
Well, mate, I have to wish, well, you indirectly a happy birthday. That's not your birthday, but it's Strawman's fifth birthday. That's very cool.

**Andrew Page** (0:56)
Yeah, yeah, it's a miracle, really, that we made it this far.

**Scott Phillips** (1:01)
Didn't say that, said it was very cool. That's awesome, mate.

**Andrew Page** (1:05)
There was a very early free version of the site that was launched in late 2017, but we didn't get around to being a serious outfit till 2021 So, in terms of being a proper outfit, yeah, five years this week, this week.

**Scott Phillips** (1:20)
That is really, really cool. I'm very proud of you, very pleased for you. You've done an amazing job with it.
For those who've been listening for all, you know this, but Andrew and I used to work together at the Motley Fool a million years ago. And Andrew said to me one day, I've got this idea. And kind of worked out in the background that eventually you said, okay, look, it's time for me to leave the fool and go and do my own thing. And I'm really mad, I'm just, I'm stoked for you. It's been a labor of love. You've been passionate about it from the very beginning, the whole idea of what if you could actually keep a journal of your ideas and then share those with other people.
That was always at the core of what you wanted to do. And the business itself has kind of pivoted and moved around in bits and pieces. But that very idea you had way back in the day, which is, I think this is the thing people want. I think we can add some value. I think people will appreciate it. I think they'll pay for it. This is something that I think is worthwhile. And that was the insight. And you've absolutely proven it out, mate. So I'm really stoked for you, really proud of you, you've done an amazing job.

**Andrew Page** (2:12)
Oh mate, it's very nice of you to say, hey, well, this seems like a good opportunity, given that you've done that.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:19)
Up to you, up to you, go on.

**Andrew Page** (2:21)
Well, so we only periodically open, open the doors to new members. And we always, so far, have done it in August. And so there's been a couple of things that have been in the wings, as you know, I think a lot of our listeners know, we've completely re-built the site.
It's like still standing, despite my very limited coding skills. I'm as surprised as anyone. The damn thing is still up. Actually, really pleased with it. It's been really well received. It looks so much better. So now that that's out of the way, we're re-opening the doors. And I wanted to give Motley Fool Money listeners a bit of a discount. So if you're interested, use the old user discount code. Let's go with Munger, M-U-N-G-E-R.

**Scott Phillips** (3:09)
Okay.

**Andrew Page** (3:09)
Tip of the hat to the late great Charlie.

**Scott Phillips** (3:11)
Nice. Okay.

**Andrew Page** (3:13)
It's actually not. So when this gets released on Friday, so we won't be open until Sunday evening, but yeah, head to the site. And in the meantime, if you just go to the site and create a free account and then you can register your interest and we'll send you an email. And if you chuck in Munger, we'll give you 10% off. So there you go.

**Scott Phillips** (3:29)
There's my shill. Let's get on with the show. That's really cool. So before we do, before we do, I'm going to pull you up. So write down Munger right now.
As Andrew said, go to the site right now and put in your email address and you'll get the information that you need to sign up when the site is open. But write down the discount code now. I mean, you can rewind the podcast and come back to it, right? We're only a few minutes in, so you do that if you have to. But do yourself a favor, write it down so it will remind you when it comes time. So just on the order page, is it, mate?
