Constantly reminding myself:

@MoreWillie thanks!

@MoreWillie if you get a chance to give that article a ♥ that’d be great!

@shanedjrogers thanks. @tonkapark is a friend of mine (works with @taxjar). We looked into but the problem is I”m using 3rd party gateways.

@entrebot have you read this guide yet? https://justinjackson.ca/make-a-podcast-itunes/

By far my favorite part of the Nintendo Switch live event.

@drewwilson jesus christ.

I can’t believe you talked with that person that long!

Amazing custom @joltbook art and book review. ⚡️

Thank you @pixelbud!

@iChris let's DO THIS

When you walk through a hot desert you dream of an ice cold glass of water. 🌵

Folks need to be thirsty for your product in the same way.

@WarrenGOpheim I'm not sure either 😜

Bitcoin!

@entrebot but this episode (that people seemed to really like) took about 1-2 hours to produce. https://twitter.com/marcinator/status/818931671781306369

@entrebot whoa! Glad you liked it.

It really depends: early episodes took a long time because I was doing a lot of experimentation.

@Shpigford thanks for sharing it Josh! 🙌

@lintonye awesome. You're going to love it.

I've started an "attendee list" here if you want to add yourself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FgPamAK6dGYNOE5hbBETO2UHk4s6EhtWOo2hk-Mh_2Y/edit?usp=sharing

@davidscolgan you can check this list here (add yourself too!)

@kaisdavis love this MicroConf guide!

I just created a public list of "who's coming" here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FgPamAK6dGYNOE5hbBETO2UHk4s6EhtWOo2hk-Mh_2Y/edit?usp=sharing

@mhmazur nice!

@DominicFragman awww yeaaah! That's where I saw it initially. Felt like it should have more ♥ on YouTube. ;)

What's the best time for you to send your email newsletter?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZlnH8sl-g4

@polimorfico they use Stripe and PayPal, so that could solve half my problem!

I remember you telling me about your service in Barcelona 👌

@polimorfico my problem is I'm using platforms like Memberful, Restrict Content Pro, and Coach.

@SamuelHulick nope: it's global submission, but you can restrict which countries you release to.

Also: reviews are regional.

@SamuelHulick every country

@garyvee awww yeah!

Fun fact: I met you and @MoreWillie the same day at FOWA in 2011. 🙌

@MoreWillie awwww yeaaaaahhh! 🙌

Congrats! 🎈

@derrickgrigg if you figure out a solution to my problem let me know. ;)

@derrickgrigg what does "your system" look like? Is it an Excel sheet?

@derrickgrigg @adamwathan you wouldn't want to use this method if 80% of gross income came from outside 🇨🇦

@ianlandsman @adamwathan sorry did I miss? Who's "already on it?" 😜

@JoshDance there are, but they need to sit in front of your payment processor.

So you can't use 3rd party like @withcoach, @paywithplasso

@derrickgrigg @adamwathan looks like it's only helpful for businesses who do most of their gross $ in 🇨🇦 (also, you still have to file PST).

The Canadian sales tax situation is so bad, I've seriously considered putting a modal like this up on my sales page:

@tobi who speaks for indie makers in 🇨🇦? Having to calculate / remit different sales tax for every transaction is 😱

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/818935182182924288

The 🇨🇦 gov has made it WAY too complicated to sell goods on the internet.

Ironically, it's simpler for me to sell to 🇺🇸 than my own country

This guide by @ekryski is excellent: “Sales Tax 101 for Canadian Startups” @ekryski/sales-tax-101-for-canadian-startups-98d1a3df0bbe#---0-201.v8txh0vom" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://medium.com/@ekryski/sales-tax-101-for-canadian-startups-98d1a3df0bbe#---0-201.v8txh0vom

@entrebot @gcwelborn hoping to get the new season of @megamaker3000 out soon!

Holy shit cakes.

@DominicFragman can play guitar, drums, and sing like Geddy Lee...

@grlalx 👌

@grlalx thanks so much Alex! That's the encouragement I need to hear right now. 👍

@pt what are you waiting for?

Wax up that rad stick, put on your gnar boots, and come to BC for some shredding!

@Wickerpedia thanks for the typo fix!

I've been thinking a lot about how people actually consume email.

I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/VZlnH8sl-g4

What do you think? 🤔

@erichoekendorf a bit sad, isn't it?

Holy 🚬 - have y'all already talked about this? https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/09/atlassian-acquires-trello/

Insane. Trello acquired for $425 million (5 years old).

@raphaelfyi Yeah, iPhone 4S had the big phone upgrade I think.

@bryanarchy I don’t!

@MarcLittlemore if you’re creating a course, you should definitely check out @withcoach: https://withcoach.com/justin

@rskopecek yes!

If you haven't heard it, this interview with @adamwathan is really good. https://overcast.fm/+Gy_PheAOw

@sambreed sweet!

@raphaelfyi true.

I think it's interesting how it evolved to become such a key feature though.

"iPhone combines three products..."

No mention of "camera" in initial launch, which (arguably) became one of the most important features.

@noahkagan yup!

@jongold next time I'm coming too

I've got a blog post brewing around @kevin2kelly's "1,000 true fans" concept.

How many of you have seen "1,000 true fans" work?

@FAQTube thanks!

The Royals should cancel all US visits for this reason alone.

Agreed. I supported @theleviallen's Kickstarter. So awesome to see this happening! 💯

“Venture capital is going to murder Medium” by @dhh

😢 https://m.signalvnoise.com/venture-capital-is-going-to-murder-medium-656cbccf4829?source=twitterShare-a02dd1574d08-1483685431

@dannoblaster agreed! So good!

@jonasdowney I loved those.

My best writing happens when I'm:

open,
vulnerable,
taking risks,
challenging norms.

Good writing doesn't play it safe.

A continual challenge I have when writing:

My initial impulse is to play it safe, and make myself look reasonable.

But...

@davidpots WHOOOOAAAH @playsongnotes is sweet. 10K+ subs! 😍

No matter how cool I get on the internet, I’ll never be as cool as @SSundee (according to my boys). 🤣

(Sidenote: my 7 year old tells me he regularly visits my channel, hits "Like" and then leaves, "because your videos are boring, dad.")

One reason I'm doing more video this year: seeing how my kids, my wife, and my friends consume content. It's almost all YouTube and Netflix.

Wow. Thanks to everyone who subscribed to my YouTube channel today!

Getting close to 400 subs!
