Great news for the Handley brothers, who have sold their company The Hyperfactory to Meredith Corporation. It’s a big deal to get a big price for IP. And I think they may have sold at a very clever time. They were pioneers in an industry lots of others are now attacking and the mystery that gave them the margin is going.

Isn’t that splendid. And can we please now never speak of it again.
