An encouraging word is like oxygen for creative people.

@mannaxc @AppMeerkat nice!

(btw - Meerkat would make a great sponsor for tomorrow's episode: http://megamaker.co/sponsor)

@clearpreso thanks for including @productpeopletv on your list!

But have you heard my new show yet?

@richardmlennon @McGloogly @JonathanPyke if you actually end up doing something let me know. I just registered http://higherthanhobbits.com

You can sponsor tomorrow's #megamaker episode for as little as $99 but I need to know today!

@AlyssaAFox @kylefox true, but you probably have to hear him rant about JavaScript frameworks.

“My biggest fear is that people won’t like it, won’t care, or won’t show up.” http://buff.ly/23x5uD4

@richardmlennon @JonathanPyke @McGloogly made you guys a logo.

@MischievousMal thanks!

@KelliSullivan he's the KING of geeks. (And Vernon)

As soon as laptops are powered by lap energy they'll be awesome.

@kylefox what part?

@BranigansLaw thanks Tyler! 👍

LOVE this post by @jccabel sent to me by @justinabrahms:

"Quit living with serious Idea Debt."

http://jessicaabel.com/2016/01/27/idea-debt/

Read it!

@rskopecek lol. No

My biggest creative fear http://justinjackson.ca/creative-fear/

@LashaKrikheli not really. I've used both for different applications. Mostly using ConvertKit right now.

@LashaKrikheli yup.

Our outlook in life is largely informed by the pain (and success) we've experienced in the past.

@JonoCodes definitely.

(Plus tools like @ConvertKit + @getdrip + @gumroad make it easier than ever to jump in)

Marketing automation used to feel really intimidating for me.

But once you start doing it it makes way more sense. You just have to start.

Sometimes, when things don't happen as quickly as I want them to, I get frustrated.

But like fine wine, "faster" isn't always better.

@ClearHelp @BrendanHufford sweet! Which podcast? Are you listening to my new one?

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/megamaker/id1074661788?mt=2

The answer isn't always "grind it out at your desk until you find the solution."

Sometimes you gotta go for a Capp.

.@avinashdsouza yup!

@hamstu and I are building @levelstheme!

You can get the beta here: https://gum.co/levelshtml

@scrivs appreciated your perspective today on Slack. 👍

You definitely have me thinking!

@richardmlennon @JonathanPyke @McGloogly can’t wait to hear the first album! ⚡️🤘⚡️

@richardmlennon ⚡️⚡️⚡️\m/

Actually, now that I think about it, "Higher than Hobbits" would be a great name for stoner metal band.

MegaMaker is getting beaten by the quilters, but is higher than hobbits.

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/megamaker/id1074661788?mt=2

@Ktens definitely.

@LukasFittl yessssssa

What’s all this nonsense about “burning the midnight oil?”

For me it’s more about “eating the midnight snacks.”

.@rrhoover I was born for this.

How many of you Huffduff?

@frankholdem yes.

Both launched in 2008. I don’t think one was a copycat of the other though.

@mjackson yup.

You really need to bring something new to the game, like Sketch did (vs Photoshop).

@thejonotron yup

This is especially true for "open source" copycats. Being "more open" doesn't make you more attractive to most users.

Copycats rarely prosper.

Which #megamaker podcast title feels most enticing for you?

@Aga_Jaskiewicz 👍

@sh if Business Pants Inc. doesn’t exist we should definitely register it and start an 80s synth band.

@AaronAndrews sweet! Thanks @KikiSchirr! 😄

@AaronAndrews AWWW yeaaah! Do it!

(How’d you find it?)

@LeoWid that carpet tho 😍

@sh clearly you meant “work belts” for when you’re wearing your “business pants.”

@raspberrysarah 👍

@uibreakfast I agree side-gigs shouldn’t be done in work time.

But whatever someone does in their own time (with their own tools) is fine.

@ttimsmith I think it’s illegal in California! But I still hear about startups telling employees they’re not allowed to pursue paid projects

@jimmyjacobson from employees that work there.

@austingunter there's some big "progressive" startups where those are the rules.

I think it's disgusting.

Troubling trend: founders earn $ from side-gigs but don't let their staff do the same. What's good for the prince isn't good for the pauper?

.@lhid hahaha. This one is open to interpretation. (Depending on how you feel about McDonald’s and how you feel about America)

One of life’s important truths:

“Every day on the mountain is a good day.”

@BarrettABrooks 👍

Sometimes you need to go to McDonald’s just to remind yourself what America tastes like.

Wow. Powerful story from @BarrettABrooks on recovering from failure, on the @Fizzle show:
