@greggblanchard Thanks Gregg!

THANK YOU @PairWithTuple for hiding notifications while I'm on a call.

I just screen sharing with @steveschoger and was pleasantly surprised to see my notifications appear only *after* the call was done. 👍

It's calming to know that you're thinking of the small things. ❤️

One of the most honest interviews I’ve ever given just went live on the @producthunt podcast:

One thing about podcasting, speaking, writing: we really are touching people's lives.

When we share our experience, vulnerably, it can have a significant impact on others.

Our words can help folks think differently, act differently, and try new experiments.

(Words matter!)

The teaser video we published last week already has over 26,000 views and generated tons of discussion:

Should you delete your backlog?

@cheriehu42 Awesome! 🙌

@jimmy_clayton Thanks Jimmy. I really appreciate it. It should be live on the @StreamACon YouTube channel soon!

@jimmy_clayton Yup!

"Our culture's telling us to 'stick to it.' I think we should quit fast." – @AnnieDuke

Fascinated by Annie's take on quitting on the @PeterAttiaMD podcast:

@cheriehu42 I could make something like this fairly simply for music. 👍

I loved @jasondoesstuff’s first book (and also gave it as a gift!)

Can’t wait to read this one. 👍 https://twitter.com/jasondoesstuff/status/1158396529859710987

@podhuntapp @vikramkhorana These auto-tweets look good! 💪

@jonahray I saw the beacon and so I came.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎈🎁🎂

@conorgil 🙌

@DanielZarick @jonbuda @TransistorFM Thanks! 🙌

Last month, @jonbuda quit job.

Now, we’re both focused on building @TransistorFM full-time, and making it great. 💪

When we launched, we had $750 in MRR (from 51 beta customers).

In the last year, we’ve grown to over $22K in MRR (and 1,183 customers)!

So thankful to everyone who’s supported us along the way. 🙏

Big milestone: @jonbuda and I officially launched @TransistorFM one year ago! 🙌

@MattGiovanisci 120 days after posting! What happened to make it get so popular?

It’s a virtual reality.

@wking__ @buildyoursaas Yeah, that’s something that @earthlingworks helped me see. 👌

@KingDogDad The code is here on my Github: https://github.com/mijustin/podcastpreview?files=1

@autiomaa It's done locally. 👌

Thanks to @BrockSky for being my model for this example.😉

(he's super handsome 🔥)

I haven't told very many people about this, but I built a quick tool that lets you compare your podcast's cover art compared to other shows in your category.

Useful to see if your show stands out!

"We don't believe in backlogs. Backlogs make you feel guilty." – @jasonfried

@jonbuda and I just had a great call with Jason. He gave us some ideas on how Basecamp's new book, "Shape Up," might apply to our (tiny) team of two co-founders.

@mubashariqbal Can’t wait for this to come out!

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.

How I ended up with @IronMaiden in Brooklyn, NYC.

@adrianb93 😜 Hahahaha omg

@deadcoder0904 @elonmusk @SpaceX “Need” is actually a bad word for what I’m describing.

“Desire” is probably better. The market has to have a preexisting hunger for it.

Folks keep mentioning “the iPhone” as an example of product that didn’t have preexisting demand.

A pocket computer that allows you to have all your music, play games, browse the web, AND MAKE PHONE CALLS?!?

The market demand was visible previously with GameBoy, BlackBerry, iPod

@ericlbarnes @chrisoncode Thanks! 🙌

@adrianb93 @jesseleite85 Lol. So far they like the TimTams!

@TravisFischer If it’s true 90% of the time, I’ll take it! 😜

@m1guelpf Hahaha. Yeah, that’s the bootstrap route. You on a log, with a bed sheet. 🤣

@Shpigford I just ordered a LaserTweet!

@m1guelpf VC is like a loan to build the boat.

Another way to think of market demand:

It’s the wind in your sails.

You can build the ship (your product) but without the wind (market demand) you won’t go anywhere.

The strength of the wind will determine how fast you’ll go.

RT @jayclouse: @mijustin last data i saw from @CBinsights was that 40% of companies fail due to lack of market need

@_rchase_ This is so awesome.

@_rchase_ Yes! @kylefox and @getRewardful are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@abadir_ There's a lot of nuance to this, for sure.

The trick is there has to be some existing momentum in your direction.

I found this episode really helpful in figuring out that nuance: https://artofproductpodcast.com/episode-90

@Arfanchaudhry I use google calendar

@abadir_ It's a really common struggle! Something I've personally struggled with as well.

If there's no market momentum in the direction you're headed, it means there is no demand.

If it's a genuine need, there should be evidence of a current behavior:

"I use Excel all the time for this." (Airtable comes in and capitalizes on the existing behavior)

"I just BCC hundreds of people." (Mailchimp makes this existing behavior easier and better)

@louisnicholls_ Yup. 🎯

But there's almost always evidence of a *current behavior*.

If there's no action in the direction you're headed, it likely means there will be no demand.

@justinvincent Lots of evidence for current behaviour around this:

- Product demo videos
- Animated demonstrations
- Slideshows

@HDa2nd You don't think there was already evidence that people were paying for water, before bottled water?

Lots of evidence (water cooler, filtered water).

You can't "create" a need.

You can only respond to a need that's already present in the market.

The products we create are a response to current demand.

@jackmcdade awww shucks man. thanks.

@thatsathingYEG @lizzyraptor @KarenUnland OMG!!! I GOT A SHOUT OUT FROM JON! 😮

Biggest day of my life @KarenUnland.

@thatsathingYEG @lizzyraptor @KarenUnland omg. This killed me:

"Ok, now it's time to praise our overlords at ATB."

@thatsathingYEG @lizzyraptor @KarenUnland Lol!!! I love Jon on the show:

"I'm not a boomer, I'm gen-x!"
"Boomer is a mindset."

🤣

@asantibanez @wsamoht @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Agreed. @pocketcasts is probably the best.

RT @KingDogDad: If you haven’t checked out @TransistorFM yet, y’all are missing out.

@wsamoht @buildyoursaas @jonbuda For Android or iOS?

@wsamoht @buildyoursaas @jonbuda If should appear a few hours after we publish, but Google Play is weird. I believe they re-host our audio.
