@coreyhaley @TransistorFM Free podcasts will continue to be huge.

Spotify will introduce many people to podcasting for the first time, so their original (paywalled) content has a chance.

Other services (like Luminary) won't catch on.

@mikevardy @markwahlberg @RWitherspoon 👍

@shl Sometimes, repeating yourself makes your communication better.

A lot of popular speeches ("I have a dream!") and stand-up comedy use this technique.

@chrisfosterelli @twostoryrobot Nice work! 🙌

This might be my favorite Canadian short film of all time:

The accents, the personalities, the town, the rink; it's all perfect Canadiana 🍁.

WTF with @marcmaron cracks me up:

"But I like it when he kills the other sniper."

@tiggreen @TransistorFM I wrote about it here: https://justinjackson.ca/cofounder

@rick_west8 @anthilemoon @makermag 👋

@jamesmh_dev @KateBour 👋

@r00k Yup.

Giving advice is easy.

It's testing things out in real life that's hard.

@TalAdam DHH has said "in the first two years of Basecamp's development, he worked on it 10 hours per week."

I don't think sprinting really fast is necessarily the best strategy.

Consistent, meaningful progress is good. Too much sprinting can lead to burnout.

@tiggreen As someone who built a lot of projects alone, having a co-founder for @transistorfm has been an incredible change. 👌

RT @missbikesalot: That’s good advice!! https://twitter.com/tanayj/status/1111296137561018368

@christophergrip @oliverbusk @TransistorFM @Shpigford @Baremetrics Thanks! 🙌

@asmartbear @TransistorFM Haha. It's true. Now we just need to "hang in there" until $20k and beyond. 👌

@pkaura @TransistorFM Thanks!

Just updated my list of "tools for bootstrappers:"

@oliverbusk @TransistorFM That's from my friend @Shpigford: it's called @Baremetrics. It connects to your Stripe account and automatically gives you SaaS metrics.

@TaimurAbdaal @TransistorFM 🙌

@KateKendall @TransistorFM Thanks Kate!

@JackEllis @TransistorFM Thanks!

@davecraige That's a feature in Ecamm Live 👌

@gcaprio @dzohrob YES! And over 23 million YouTube channels. There is lots of room in podcasting still.

@emred @TransistorFM 🙌

SO CLOSE to $10k MRR for @TransistorFM.

@Schwarzenegger You should start a podcast too! 🙌

@stympy @StarrHorne @joshuap I liked your show art + concept so much I've featured it on our homepage:

https://transistor.fm/

@PaddleHQ @jonbuda thanks!

@iChris I want to see what happens when we add more wine. 🍷🍷🍷

@sunnysinghio @ironmicfm Thank you! 🙌

I just keep doing them. 😂

My favorite pull-up advice is from @natekontny:

https://soundcloud.com/mijustin/nate-kontny https://twitter.com/clayhebert/status/1110708968366792704

@mpstenson True. True.

@mjwhansen Holy crap!

I spy:
@joeworkman @stefanbutlin @jonnyplatt @adamd @DeLongShot @misterparker @leogdion @brianball @DeanLJ. Who else is there? @yuzool? @jeremyvaught? (Hard to see in photo)

So sad I'm missing this! 😭

Glad the @megamaker crew got together. 🙌

@clayhebert Lately it's been pull-ups (but only because I recently got better at them! 😜)

@LostInTangent @bentossell Yep! I’ve used it a few times since then. Here’s a video of me pairing with @jmcharnes.👌

Bootstrapping a SaaS has ups and downs.

This is @jonbuda and I talking about what happened on the weekend: https://overcast.fm/+MBmUKPXyg

@marcoarment Also, when talks are recorded and posted to YouTube they become incredible assets.

Your XOXO talk (2013) has over 37,000 views. It's a record of Overcast's journey! 👍

@coreyhaley @TransistorFM Have you listened to https://www.akimbo.me/ yet? So good.

Well done @starrhorne, @stympy, and @joshuap! 🙌

As a new SaaS founder, it's so refreshing to hear the team @honeybadgerapp talk candidly about what it was like for them in the "early days."

https://share.transistor.fm/s/0895a57c

☝️ this person is also good with SQL server (diagnosing and fixing problems).

Anyone here need .NET / C# help at their company right now? I know someone who's awesome who has some availability. (DM me!)

@honeybadgerapp Awww yeah! Make sure you send folks to the website too. It's awesome! 🙌

Interesting to be watching #microconf from afar.

You can really see when a point resonates.

This quote from @shl definitely struck a nerve:

"It doesn't matter how awesome your product is, the market you're in will determine most of your growth."

@joeworkman @MicroConf Lol. Awww yeaah!

@im_brian_d @tesshemphill @davidhemphill Hahahahahaha. Oh man I love this pun

RT @KateKendall: Another example of VC subsidizing markets. https://twitter.com/alex/status/1110304921470013442

Late night live hangout anyone? https://www.pscp.tv/w/b2mV8jM4NTU1MXwxdkFHUnlPd21PREtsLixnyzv6Zkxa7KzIb5BvnPwxN9SfBxtD0VhyqqRm1Ws=

Love this bit in @siddharthkp's article:

"It feels great to be at the top of the mountain. But if you want to climb the next, higher, mountain, you have to come down from the peak you're already on."

Want to go to Belgium in October?

This Full Stack Dev conference organized by @freekmurze and @driesvints looks good:

https://fullstackeurope.com/

@andrewculver Nice. 👌

@jaimzuber @TransistorFM Yeah, that's a good point. It's just MO! 😭

RT @jackmcdade: @mijustin Boy can I confirm that statement.

A potential user who is overly difficult in the signup phase usually ends up being *incredibly* difficult once they become a customer.

It almost always leads to regret.

Difficult people don't stop being difficult once they sign up!

Ok. That last Oprah "AAAAAPPPLE" was kind of foreboding.

@MRyanMcCarthy Crazy. Maybe I need to give it a shot.

I use @nuzzel, but that's about it.

Forgot about the  event today!

Started watching now.

"Apple News+" just got announced.

🤔 Does anyone care about news that much?

🤷‍♂️ Do people really want to read digital magazines?

@moeamaya Lol.

@fortelabs @aarondfrancis Just watched this because of your recommendation. Thank you!

@anildash 2400 baud

@jipiboily This should be fixed now! (Sometimes SSL changes take a while to propagate but a refresh should work)

@scottmathson @TransistorFM Yup! We're working on this now https://status.transistor.fm

@davidhemphill You should definitely wear it. There will probably be a few of those around. 😉

😭 Sad to be missing #microconf this year (one of my favorite confs).

Decided to sit this year out so I had time and energy to do some conferences in the podcasting space, and focus on @TransistorFM.

(But I've definitely got major FOMO right now)

@glenmccallumcan 👍 really like that you're doing these.

@SamanthaGeitz @PolewskiEric 🕺🔥💃

@sehurlburt Wow, congrats! That's awesome! 🙌

Good advice from @natekontny on doing customer support for your SaaS:

https://ninjasandrobots.com/does-that-help

@Patticus Yup. MailChimp has always driven e-commerce sales. It makes sense for them to provide an all-in-one solution.

@Harris_Bryan "Just do you."

I dug this one! 🙌

@mhmazur @danest Cool, thanks!

@mhmazur What app is that?

@peterc The 2013 Macbook Pro was (is) such a solid workhorse.

Mine is still going strong.

@vernbot You're beautiful though. ❤️

@brandonhull @Marketplace @WSJ @austenhufford I hadn't! Thanks.

@brianbreslin Hey, happy to show you around http://Transistor.fm.

We've done a lot of work with our CDN and optimizing download speeds.

All our plans allow you to host multiple podcasts on the same account, for one price.

Delighted to be speaking at @ebarbaric's PodSummit conference in Calgary, June 22, 2019!

You should come and meet up! There are a few tickets left here:

This is why I like working with @jonbuda.

Every employee at @transistorfm HQ gets one of these:

BTW - this finding is surprising to me:

"One-third of U.S. consumers watch esports at least once a week — and 54% of Gen Z respondents do."

ONE-THIRD OF CONSUMERS WATH ESPORTS ONCE A WEEK?

Only 22% (62 million) listen to podcasts weekly.
https://www.podcastinsights.com/podcast-statistics/

This is why I'm bullish on Apple's new streaming service. If they can bundle everything together, in one attractive price, they'll have an edge over their competitors (Spotify, Netflix, etc...)

Competing with Netflix's original content will by tricky, but not impossible.
