@abigailotwell 🙌 yes!

@jtomchak @buildyoursaas @jonbuda 🤣

Jon and I talked about why product people need margins on @buildyoursaas.

"Time away from the office isn't wasted."

It's a new episode here: https://plinkhq.com/i/1357295850/e/1000515947892

@todd_coleman The toilet paper usage is truly surprising.

@jdoss @TransistorFM Yup! We're already using @usefathom 🥰

@mjwhansen @SloanCam Lol!! 🤣

Omg. I love this more than anything.

I think today's the day I remove Mixpanel from @TransistorFM, and make our marketing website/app 100% tracker free.

Save some space,
Give yourself margin,
Leave room in the budget,
Don't cut it too close.

You'll feel better.

@tnorthcutt @mjwhansen @ericlbarnes Yeah, in Canada invoice is what you issue before payment. Receipt comes after. 🇨🇦🧾

@adamwathan Awww yeaaah! What a beauty! 🥰

@markjaquith 🙌

This is true.

As far as parents’ feet are concerned:

Nerf > Lego https://twitter.com/devinhyden/status/1379282918791540736

Buying the kids 500 Nerf darts for Christmas is a guaranteed way to pick up Nerf darts every day, for the rest of your life.

It’s fantastic.

If you’ve never had kids, you wouldn’t believe the amount of time I spend in grocery stores.

@david_perell just finished listening to your chat with @csallen.

I really enjoyed it! Feels like I got to know you a lot better. 👍

@_anibalr @jailandrade @TransistorFM I'd be happy to show you around Transistor!

I just recorded this video on my whole podcasting process:

Without a doubt, @TransistorFM would not have grown as fast if it weren’t for @getRewardful.

I recorded a quick testimonial here:

@chadkoh Wow. Incredible!

@typeoneerror no dear god no

Related: @theleviallen & @jessedriftwood1 have a really vulnerable episode on the mental effects of the pandemic on creatives.

Glad that @joshuaanderton is talking about founder depression.

(It’s way more common than people think!)

@philipyoungg Yup.

@jamesmkenny Glad it was helpful!

@MattGiovanisci @jasondoesstuff really enjoyed hearing from both of you on this episode!

(Still hoping one day we can meet up for realz and chat in person)

@aliyapabani @sookyinlee @JohnTory How can people contribute to this man’s rent?

@PublicMobile Your website is NOT functional.

It took nearly 8 minutes just to get the payment page to appear after clicking the "Payment" button.

(And the page *still* hasn't fully loaded!)

This is in an incognito window (cache and cookies cleared).

Looks like I'm not the only who encountered this today:

https://twitter.com/quietbyday/status/1378031031106830342?s=20

@PublicMobile I can't access my account information because your self-serve website WON'T LOAD.

And, just got another timeout message.

This is embarrassing (for you!).

@PublicMobile got an SMS that our payment didn't go through this morning.

Trying to access your website, and it is slow and unresponsive (it frequently times out).

2 mins to load login page.

Took longer to access "Payment" page.

Clicked submit on payment... nothing.

@GetTheAudience @TransistorFM Thanks!

@harriskenny @marcoarment @OvercastFM I usually upload longer clips to a separate “clips” podcast on @TransistorFM, like this:

@christophrumpel Thanks!

@nickjmauro @Simplecast @TransistorFM Yessssss 🙌

@seanpritzkau @DescriptApp Yes! 🙌

@alexisohanian I do the same thing!

Helluva drug.

I’m such a huge fan of @MatthewBogart and his comics.

I want everyone I know to pre-order this anthology.

@seanwes @DescriptApp 🙌 thanks!

@evangoldin @DescriptApp thanks!

Just finished it!

Trying this "premier video" feature on youtube.🤔

@driesvints @DescriptApp it's pretty great

Decided to ditch Screenflow for editing my next explainer video, and I'm using @DescriptApp instead.

LOVING IT.

The visual editing interface is super fast.

(Initial recording was done in Ecamm Live)

@the_thagomizer thanks so much for writing "We don't do that here."

So helpful! (Especially when building community)

@pjrvs This is a gold star tweet ⭐

One year after our launch, @csallen captured what that moment meant for me:

Courtland: "You look relaxed. In the past, you were full of energy but I could tell you were under pressure. Right now you are as relaxed as I've ever seen you."

https://share.transistor.fm/s/7e7020f7

@EddyVinckk Thanks Eddy! 🙌

Six months after hitting $10k (April 2019), we hit $30k MRR (Oct 2019).

For me, hitting this milestone meant that (maybe for the first time in my adult life?) I was able to relax. Less pressure.

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1181679385780187136

@DuShaunUK @PhilMctimoney @helmi Yeah, we stopped sharing our numbers publicly at about $30k MRR.

@scottmathson higher

@inorganik @tylertringas @TwitterSpaces Jamie: both sides of the conversation?

The last few times I've tried this it hasn't worked.

Holy shit.

I can't believe this was two years ago!!!

A few days after I posted this update I went "full-time" on Transistor.

Four months later, Jon quit his job and went full-time too.

Since then, this little business us given us more than we ever imagined.

Thankful. 🙏 https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1111417288664584195

@tylertringas @TwitterSpaces The screen recording utility on iOS no longer works. 😞

So now you'll need to plug your iphone into your computer and use a capture utility from there, or use a headphone jack out of the iphone into another recording device (like a Zoom).

“Margins create margins, too. You need massive scale to afford ‘the life you want’ in a low margin environment.” – @patio11

Really proud of what we’re building at Transistor.

If you have a podcast (or want to start one) we’d love to host it for you! 🥰 https://twitter.com/TransistorFM/status/1377040714891063297

@davidhemphill Looks great!

@dr Whoa! What caused the inflection?

@volkandkaya Margin is more is this sense: https://justinjackson.ca/margin

@CorbettBarr @unsplash Maybe... if the crowd equity cap goes beyond $5 million that might be possible?

@JamesCridland Hahahaha. Hadn’t heard of Listnr (or maybe I have and didn’t know it? 😆)

@SimpleAsNat_ Join my party line on LinkedIn tomorrow at 10am pacific

@JamesCridland You’ve got to be kidding me.

I’ll take that radio dot com if they’re not using it...

(“Transistor Radio” has a nice ring to it)

This is a good point.

I hustled the hardest when I was working for businesses with low margins.

That’s the thing about low-margin work: you spend an enormous amount of energy treading water.

High-margin work gives you the space to do less tasks, with more impact. https://twitter.com/hsantana8/status/1376974222916997123

@AndyBlackJnr That’s smart. 👍

@jmcmillen89 Lol

@falicon 🤣

There are so many productivity gurus, tips, hacks; lots of advice on how to "get more done in less time."

Am I weird in that I have no desire to "get more done"? 😅

I'm fine with getting a few things done every day (I don't feel the desire to cram more in).

@iroughol Can’t wait to listen to this one! I’ve got it queued up for tomorrow. 👍

@thejonotron HOW DO YOU EAT JUST ONE CUP

These tweets brought to you by this open bag of chocolate chips in my pantry I keep eating.

“One-liner wisdom memes” are probably not making us wiser.

(I’m guilty of tweeting those too).

Wisdom comes from discourse, research, experience, long-term thinking. (It’s hard to encapsulate all that in 280 characters)

Most of the time, finding truth requires depth.

(You can’t know a tweet is true by looking at it, and judging it in the moment).

Discovering if something is true will probably take research and time. (Investigating multiple sources).

Tricky to parse truth, because both lies and truth can wear the same emotional clothing.

Obvious (but worth repeating):

Most of the stuff we amplify (RT, re-share) are ideas that resonate with us emotionally.

An idea that’s been amplified is not necessarily true.

(It’s a sign of emotional resonance with a given audience).
