@_danielmeade Almost entirely from podcasting, blogging, and tweeting.

Let me think about tactics! (Going to sleep now)

Questions:
1. What kind of audience do you want to build?
2. Why do you want to build it?

We’ve mythologized self-funded companies.
Many of us are trying to follow in their footsteps.
But along the way, we’ve created some false beliefs:

"The hidden cost of bootstrapping."

@femkesvs @xoxo Whoa! Where'd you go hiking?

BTW - say hi if you see me tomorrow! 👋

@DevopsWong @JsSensei A lot of it has to do with freedom and autonomy.

Ultimately, you're looking for leverage.

Leverage is your ability to make progress; to get the life you want.

Leverage comes from 3 things:

1. Your connections: who you know, and who knows you.
2. Your skills: the value you can add to the world.
3. Your assets: money, equity.

@EmmaWedekind @hankyates Where are you streaming? I'd love to follow you.

I'm here on Twitch: http://Twitch.tv/megajustin

@natekontny Whoa! Just added my email.

@tinygoatdotnet Remote work helps a few different ways:
- it gives you the freedom to live where you want
- it helps you build communication skills
- it forces you to build a network outside your town

@jonmajorc @iTweetScor Agreed. 👌

Focus on your own journey.

@im_brian_d @JessicaMauerhan It gives you more freedom:
- freedom to choose where you live
- less commuting
- better working hours
- and, for certain markets, better pay

Ways to grow professionally:

- Podcast
- Give a talk
- Write a blog
- Take a course
- Ask for a raise
- Go to meetups
- Get a remote job
- Join a community
- Start a newsletter
- Grow your network
- Create a side-project
- Build a product business
- Learn more programming

@amoreSTEPH I agree! My chicken scratch makes for terrible thank you notes. 😆

@daviswbaer @rrhoover @ProductHunt Years ago! Can't remember exactly when.

Found this in my drawer.

“Doing things that don’t scale” is one of the reasons @ProductHunt became the success it is today. 🙌

⚡ Headline tip:

🔍 Search Twitter for keywords that relate to your product. Example: "Calendar sharing pain."

💫 Incorporate *their* real words into your headlines. These will resonate much stronger!

I need to have @adamwathan back on @productpeopletv

Whoa. I like @Patticus's podcast style.

In his interview with @dcancel (Drift), he addresses the elephant in the room right away:

"Sooo... can we talk about Intercom?"

Great show. Subscribe!
