@elysebogacz love it! What book?

Just finished recording a really raw episode of #megamaker. Likely going to publish it this Friday:

Here's what I mean by that last tweet:

@mikevardy happy birthday Mike! 🎉

You don't learn until you ship.

@ScottMagdalein really depends. Some stories really take off on Medium, but not on my blog. (And the reverse is true too)

@mannaxc lol

@sethdrebitko yes! Thanks

RT @BrandyLJensen: Stop telling nerds they can change the world bc they've started believing they should

@drewwilson whoa! Looks sweeeeet 👌

Happy 🇨🇦 Day ya hosers!

Whoa. @dearestscooter mentioned me on his podcast.

People are emailing me about it. That show's got reach!

@MathasaurusRex maybe you can help me here ^

Any stats geeks that can check my (amateur) work?

By 2026, only 7-8% of Fortune 500 CEOs will be female? 😮

@haribelafonte07 AWWW yeaaaah!

@bcassano thank you! 🙌

@nathanbarry @LarsLofgren @earthlingworks now I need an explanation 😉

To me “attention + engagement” are 2 levers. Am I missing something?

Here's my snapchat (mijustin) explanation of that blog post.

@bberg1010 yes, I typically send Saturday or Sunday at 5pm Pacific. Trying test other times too.

@EntrEngineering cool. When do you typically *really* get into email to read / engage?

@sam3allen beauty. Thanks! 🙌

@NateSmoyer 😱

@brettadler thanks for sharing it Brett! 🙌

@itainathaniel lol. YES!

I just published “You want more than product/market fit” https://medium.com/p/you-want-more-than-product-market-fit-c784c7ec6545

Thoughts?

I’m going to bed, but I wanted you to know you’re awesome. 🙌

@dotNetkow thanks so much for sharing it Matt! 🙌

Btw - what \m/ are you listening to these days? 🤘

@McCheesen I believe my kids currently possess these powers ⚡️

@McCheesen what are you writing right now?

@dearestscooter became a Patreon last week too! Really appreciate what you’re doing. 👊

@rachelnabors thanks for sharing it Rachel! 🙌

@sfioritto @mbuckbee @chrisbowler @joshsmith @gregoiregilbert thanks for your feedback + help on this one! 🙌

New blog post: "Do you even want this?" https://justinjackson.ca/want/

What is going on with these snaps from 1950?

@chrisbowler one more question: do you think I should keep this line? Feels weak to me.

@kcfaul I like this. I'll see if I can work that in.

Want to give me real-time feedback on this Google Doc?

I'm about to publish this: anything I could improve?

@SingleFounder awwwwwww yeaaaah! Thanks for having me Mike! That was fun. 👊

There's way too much cruft on the web.

It's harder than ever to get attention.

The answer is to have less cruft.

Remove your widgets.

@grantgarrett lol. Did you record it? ;)

@ChappellTracker at least it wasn't a pint!

I've been listening to @dearestscooter.

For those of you who can't see Twitter polls, here are the answers so far:

@TamaraVineberg still figuring that out. 😜

If you want to figure out more Snapchat stuff, you should just get @ichris's course. He taught me everything I know:

@jongold just recorded this for you ❤️

“How do I find out how many Snapchat views I have?”

Here’s a quick video:

Let's do a poll here too:

How many views do you typically get on Snapchat in a day?

@rezzz really? That's sweet! Goes to show: quality over quantity!

Just did an informal poll on my Snapchat (mijustin).

Here are the results:

RT @Tim_Aton: @mijustin Watch out world, I have a #megamaker notebook and I'm not afraid to use it.

@jasondoesstuff love it!

@InjaGames what are you looking to make this year?

@InjaGames sweet! Love @fullstackradio & @adamwathan

Working on Season 3 right now. I want to get a bunch of episodes in the bag 1st. ;)

You
can criticize
their choices &
the art they made
but the truth is they
created something
and all you have
is unfinished
stone

Sculptors start with a hunk of marble
& try to make something out of it
chipping away hunks of rock
until they have art
they can share

@InjaGames sweet! How’d you find it?

@ScottMagdalein thanks! 🙌

@Shpigford excited for you folks! This is going to be huuuuuuuge.

@rezzz best I've found!

@rezzz that's @simplecast

@moodycomputer lol

I pre-record these, so I was as surprised as anyone about today's "office motivation" episode:

Interesting...

After a big @producthunt spike, @6secondspodcast has a nice listenership of ~300 people per day.

I just read a quote from @robwalling and realized I needed to add another section to this blog draft (3rd point):
