@tylertringas @_rchase_ @hostifi_net @calmfund You did TWO podcast recordings today?

MARATHON!

@warsh33p ENHANCE

Just finished recording an episode with @tylertringas and @ianlandsman about the Once/Campfire launch, and what it might mean for bootstrappers, indie hackers, etc...

Will publish it on the @buildyoursaas feed!

@mjwhansen @DeployEmpathy YAAASSS

@JamesIvings @matthieunapoli I'm not an attorney or a tax accountant; folks should speak with one.

One firm has released this article:

You can also read @GeoffTRoberts' piece:

If you look at the guidance from credit card companies, many "MoR" services don't…

@TomFrankly Nice 🤘

👀 I spy stickers from:

@mxpx
@jbrcpod
@ConvertKit
@megamaker
@ProductHunt
@adamwathan
@wesbos / @syntaxfm
@TransistorFM (of course!)
@mjwhansen / @Geocodio
@yongfook / @bannerbearHQ

@JamesIvings @matthieunapoli That's incorrect.

You'll get a different answer if you speak with a tax attorney in the USA.

@chris__sev @Geocodio Yes!

@cnorm35 Yes! @mxpx got some good real estate on there.

@wesbos Yes!!! A @syntaxfm one as well I think.

This is my son’s mini fridge.

How many stickers do you recognize?

@heyjoshwood @TransistorFM Thanks so much! 🥰

Best Apple Vision review so far. https://twitter.com/Letterman/status/1755386860241564154

You can listen to @stympy and @heyjoshwood talk about their transitioning @honeybadgerapp to @ClickHouseDB here:

"Our search is now way faster - we got a big performance boost over Elasticsearch."

Good ep (especially if you're in the @rails world)

https://share.transistor.fm/s/d67618cc?t=15m15s

Seems to be lots of folks talking about @ClickHouseDB lately.

https://x.com/baptistejamin/status/1755599333452550224?s=46&t=xyX4ISH1y8eo0WCgQ-duKw

I just heard @stympy and @heyjoshwood talking about it on the @FounderQuest podcast too (to replace their Elasticsearch cluster): "10x faster search results."

@levelsio There's a crazy clip of a skier just riding the backcountry...

He's zipping along and has a little wipeout, and just happens to look up the hill and see a snowboarder upside down in a tree well!

He gets up there and rescues the guy... but if he hadn't wiped out he wouldn't have…

@levelsio Sometimes! The biggest risk is falling into a tree well.

(Don't look up "tree well rescue" videos if you're squeamish about skiing! 😬)

But riding in the trees is super fun.

@levelsio Come hang out with me in BC!

(Or just watch this with your Apple Vision)

@stauffermatt @ItMeansFaith Love it! You two are amazing together.

@ianlandsman Hahahaha. Yes. We should me this happen.

🎯 https://twitter.com/AmandaMGoetz/status/1755609499606655319

@ianlandsman So you’re saying there’s hope for me still.

@GeoffTRoberts @R_ubenBuijs ☝️ this is the way

@AlbanBrooke Yes!!! 👏

RT @p_millerd: I'm 39 today.

I'd love if people who enjoyed my book would help by retweeting and sharing!

I'm getting better at directly…

@JamesCridland @RadioPublic @acast Nope. Last update was Dec 11, 2019:

@typeoneerror Ooh. That’s nice.

@levelsio listening...

this D&B is frying my brain!

@driesvints Wow!!!

@ColinandSamir I’m here in the deep end with you (watching on YouTube).

@p_millerd Is the decision to live in the 🇺🇸 right now mostly related to family? (Kids, grandparents, etc)

@asmartbear 💯 I wrote a whole thread on this: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1276611514850373632

@ninjaparade Just give me plain html and css please.

@levelsio It’s not the warmest place, but Calgary, Alberta, Canada gets 2405 hours of sunshine a year (333 days).

@abigailotwell I noticed that it’s a very quiet city - hardly any sirens, honking, etc.

And the buildings are so well-insulated you can’t hear street noise.

@abigailotwell We loved our boat tour of Amsterdam when we were there!

@BarrettABrooks I’m starting to think of it along these lines. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1743315037568336214

@chalmagean Gmail?

@tylertringas @37signals We should do a @buildyoursaas episode on this. 😄

@tylertringas @37signals Good thoughts!

Love this: @kamxlal (from http://notetracks.com) implemented my tip from today's newsletter, and is already getting responses.

@bufferhead_ @Spotify @ApplePodcasts @YouTube @hotpodmedia Ad revenue

@itsdavemartin @TransistorFM Thanks! I’ll get that fixed.

@JesperBylund @ratiovernon

@whereisjefe @ratiovernon Chicken sandwich! It was amazing.

Had some great after-work drinks and food at @ratiovernon tonight!

This is a line from tomorrow's newsletter, where a local company comes to me for advice, and I ask myself:

"What's one simple, high-leverage action they could take today to improve their marketing?"

Learn the "one simple trick" I recommended.

https://justinjackson.ca/newsletter

People make purchasing choices based on the functional, emotional, and social cues related to the progress they want to achieve.

When we understand the underlying "jobs" customers are trying to accomplish, we can develop marketing strategies that speak to those needs.

@r00k Reminds me of when comedian @mattruby performed four sets: one high, one drunk, one on shrooms, and one sober (but didn't tell the audience which one they were in for).

As predicted: Joe Rogan signs new $250 million deal with Spotify.

What's interesting is the show will no longer be exclusive to @Spotify – it's also going to be distributed on @ApplePodcasts, @YouTube, etc.

@Swizec 🤣

@mikerugnetta Mike!!! I just saw this mentioned in the XOXO Slack and checked it out.

Loved the first episode and the website design.

And then I looked and saw that you're hosting it on @TransistorFM!!!

On behalf of @jonbuda and myself, thank you! Let us know if you need anything. ❤️

What makes you to stop listening to a podcast episode? 🤔 https://twitter.com/TransistorFM/status/1753488850150986038

@jayclouse @AliAbdaal COLD PLUNGES

@DanielZarick Congrats!! 🎉🎉🎉

@tobias_petry @T_Zahil Yup!

Love this piece from @davatron5000:

https://daverupert.com/2024/02/no-podcaster-don-t-cry/

For this week's "SaaS Marketing Experiments" newsletter, I have a simple tip everyone can implement (but few do) that's driven a ton of marketing intel for Transistor.

(I'll send it Saturday morning - link in bio)

@JamesCridland @RadioPublic @acast I invested too.

They sold me on the “public benefit” dream!

@aarondfrancis Sending you lots of ❤️ and 💪.

@joetannenbaum That exchange really made me laugh too.

@TransistorFM @AcquiredFM @pocketcasts Awesome! 👏👏👏

Time really flies. Excited to keep serving podcasters and creators for a long time!

@agazdecki @jonbuda @TransistorFM Thanks! Agreed. I'm hoping to do this for a long time. 💪

@OrionSeven @jonbuda @TransistorFM It's wild!

Looks like @jonbuda and I have been working on @TransistorFM together for 6 years! ❤️

@MattPaulsonSD Looks awesome! Love this room:

@raae @outseta @webflow @ApentBakeri Now this is the Product Hunt launch kit I’ve been waiting for. 🤩

Try our new interactive 'brand' page here:
https://transistor.fm/brand/

Here is the new interactive "brand" page @joshuaanderton just finished for @TransistorFM. 🎉

Love how it turned out:
- choose from multiple logos (transparent bg, foreground color), download as PNG or SVG
- choose from multiple screenshots, & choose a variation (laptop, color)

@albertobeta Removed that section. 👍

Congrats on the speed improvements; they look good!

@albertobeta I’ll do it!

@cgenco “Incredibly well?” - by which metric?

@tomrossi7 Thanks Tom! 💪

It's easy to find your Representative's number on this website @mjwhansen put up:

https://ssballiance.org/

If you're a founder or employee at a tech company, please call your rep in Congress to get them to fix Section 174 and support HR 7024. 🙏

Call and say, “Hi, my name is (name), and I live in the Representative’s district. Please tell them to support HR 7024.”

@danshipper 😍 your logo was made to be embroidered.

@theKevinShen @jayclouse Great tip! I think I need to invest in a shotgun mic next.

Which mic do you recommend?

@whereisjefe @TechCrunch Jan 2024 layoffs:

Microsoft - 1,900
Swigy - 400
Ebay - 1,000
SAP - 8,000
Brex - 282
Riot Games - 530
Wayfair - 1,650
Pixar - 1,300
Discord - 170
Amazon - 500-600
Twitch - 500
Unity - 1,800

@MikeSallese9 @TechCrunch Companies aggressively hired during the pandemic, thinking that the pandemic trends would persist.

They haven't, and so now they need to unload people.

@Lucas_Shaw @SmartLess @ashleyrcarman My guess is this is one of the few big acquisitions we'll see happen in 2024.

Spotify has said they're hitting the brakes on more podcast spending.

Neither Google nor Apple have made big (~$100m) acquisition bets on podcasting yet.

Amazon hasn't been doing much lately.

I…

Seeing all the tech layoffs visualized like this is sobering.

"The tech industry has seen more than 240,000 jobs lost in 2023, a total that’s already 50% higher than last year and growing." – @TechCrunch

@jmckinven @AcquiredFM @djrosent Thanks for listening James!

I'm curious: any insights or takeaways? (on podcasting in general, or indie hacking?)

@petersuhm @AcquiredFM @djrosent Thanks Peter! 🥰

If you're a fan of the @AcquiredFM podcast, you've got to listen to my interview with @djrosent where he tells their origin story.

Lots of lessons for bootstrappers and founders. 👍

@wesbos Damn! I’m definitely going to use this.

@calebporzio Oh yeah!!! Congrats 🎉
