"It's very gratifying because a lot of people didn't think we'd make it past ten episodes. With all of the huge things we've accomplished, I think sometimes people forget we're only five years old. We're a five-year-old multi $100 million profitable company that has grown exponentially over the last five years. We still have a long way to go. To get to 250 is pretty special. The fact that we have a huge television deal coming up. That's pretty much going to tell the tale of our company over the next five to ten years. I think its' going to be a good tale to tell. For all the people that thought we wouldn't exist or think that we're not doing good, that's just rhetoric. The bottom line is, we are making a lot of money and making a lot of inroads into the business. We're having a great time doing it and providing an excellent show multiple times per week. That's all anybody could ask of us. It's been really cool to see and experience and be part of, and know that we're basically just beginning," Jericho said on the Creative Imbalance podcast.
