Joining us now discuss is Poshmark founder and CEO, Manish Chandra. Manish, always great to see with you– see you. We’ll get into the quarter in the second, but we just were showing your stock price. It was getting embraced, the core. The numbers looked pretty good, but there’s been a big reversal. What has some of the feedback been since the quarter was announced?

MANISH CHANDRA: I think the Street is looking to profitability from us. And so I think that’s definitely on everyone’s mind these days. But we feel– overall, we feel pretty good about the quarter. We exceeded expectations. What we are seeing is a robust sort of buying and selling. And ultimately, people are emptying their closets and shopping from closets, which is a great sign of where the future of fashion, future of business is, sitting inside your closet.

BRAD SMITH: And so if the Street is looking for profitability prospects there, what would you say to kind of quell some of those concerns? What does that future look like in ensuring that you reach and ultimately sustain that profitability?
