@gilbert If you’ve seen Air, Wikipedia has a great photo of Phil Knight! 😄

@polrodriguezriu What kind of van are we talking about here?

@dmccoy Kanto YU6 speakers, ProJect turntable.

@arvidkahl @TransistorFM Haha. Oh man. I just submitted that on a whim. Can't believe that took off.

@ianlandsman I dig this idea too. 👍

@_lhermann One thing there helped me move past a rut/fatigue and get the willpower to stay focused is to work alongside someone (“pairing”).

In the past:
- I’ve called up friends and asked them if they want to assist me
- Hired contractors to pair program with me
- Live-streamed coding

@theKevinShen 🎯

@tibo_maker Yup! I think so.

@robwalling @startupspod The number of the beast strikes again!

@tibo_maker It’s beautiful!

Compared to homes in the North American Rockies, the French Alps actually seems like a good deal! 😲

@hapsize @nathanbarry Thanks! 🥰

@yongfook 🤪

@Stitcher If folks are looking for a Stitcher replacement, I curated the top recommendations here:

@shkliarau Yup.

Scratch that. I found one on @kadavy's site! 🙌

@tnorthcutt @TransistorFM It should be fine: the hostname for the ALIAS isn’t changing. 👍

(Safe to ignore that message)

I’ve seen this happen to other friends on Twitter as well.

What’s going on? https://twitter.com/nthrmchn/status/1673684775524089857

@5harath Well done! 🙌

@LandonB32 @mjwhansen @buildyoursaas @TimLeland @ajlkn @carrd @Geocodio Agreed: it's an especially potent strategy when paired with an excellent product and amazing customer support. You're giving folks more reasons to switch.. 👍

I touch on this briefly in the video and expand on it in this article from 2019:

@TimLeland 🙌

I explore more of the nuance around pricing here:

@rezzz Love it! 🙌

@jasonleowsg Happy birthday!

@driftingly 🎉

@waitbutwhy I’ve seen it in Drumheller, Alberta!

It’s incredible.

@iChris Awww. Thanks Chris! ❤️❤️❤️

@mikeherreraTD I think you’ve done pretty well overall!

Btw, we should jump on another call and catch up. Record it for the podcast👍

@michaelkoper That's not bad advice. 😉

@noahwbragg 🎯 yes.

@_knolan @yongfook Well done! 🙌

If your churn numbers are reasonable (and your margins are good), it seems like dropping to part-time at work is doable!

(And depending on your personal costs, you might be able to go FT now?)

@kvlly @TransistorFM @MathiasHansen @surfoffice It's one of the locations we're considering!

@mattwensing Just subscribed!

@mattwensing Didn’t realize you had a newsletter!

@glenmccallumcan Yeah, that’s going to be a problem. 😅

@colinyjchung @waitbutwhy Yes! 🙌

@jasonfried That’s what I thought!! 💯

@KatharineWathan @adamwathan 🎉🎉🎉

Taking action (buying a product/hiring an employee) takes a lot of energy. It requires sufficient motivation.

People generally don't act unless something is pushing/pulling them to do so. The desire builds until they can't ignore it anymore.

People will often only explicitly define what they need/want once they start searching for a solution.

Before that, it's just a desire that's gradually building until it reaches a threshold: "Dammit, I need to do something about this."

Read @mattruby's full piece here. It's a good read. 👍

“There is a vibrant world of high-rung politics. There’s just an even larger world down below, where politics is less about working together to build a more perfect union and more about the good guys triumphing over the bad guys.”

— @waitbutwhy, What's Our Problem?

I highly recommend listening to her audio version as well (hosted on @TransistorFM! 🙌)

@grdeken @patio11 @joshuaanderton @TransistorFM In this case, we’re just going to monitor how many more customer conversations we get in @crisp_im

One experiment we’re running is making “Chat with us” more prominent on the homepage.

Rationale:

- The more conversations we have with potential customers we have, the more signups we get.
- Customer support is a key differentiator with Transistor. This is a good way for us to…

@andber @usefathom @statamic YES 😍

@jeremylatham Our local beer is Okanagan Springs (“1516” is their main brew).

But a surprising number of locals drink Old Milwaukee 🤣

@asmartbear They were each helpful at a different stage of the company (although they’ve all compounded over time).

I have no idea how to prioritize them. 😂

So much of success seems to be the accumulation of small strengths over time.

For Transistor, doing enterprise sales would probably earn us more money but would result in us having to do things that would make our jobs less enjoyable:

- more meetings
- more overhead
- more compliance
- more legal wrangling
- more complex billing

It's not for us. 😅

Now that media has been democratized (and there are more voices), what causes something to break through?

@voozahq 🤣

@AlbanBrooke Made you one.

@TheOmarZenhom can't wait to listen to podcasts on this thing! 😜

That cable though 😬

The Mac Pro starts at $6999, but you can make stickers of Craig Federighi for FREE.

#WWDC23

Whaaaat. Wasn't expecting a new Mac Pro.

https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/1665769657448685571

Ooh. They're going to keep making the Mac Studio?

#WWDC23

@asmartbear I’ve been thinking for a while that there a multiple levels of Jobs to be Done:

There’s the surface level utility of a thing, and then there’s the deeper (emotional) motivation.

@aarondfrancis @jeffgardnerdev I keep visualizing “maximum effort” more closely to how athletes look at it:

It’s going as hard as you can, as close to “point-of-failure” as you can get.

It’s that feeling of sprinting really hard.

@noahwbragg @brunomorency Wow! What an awesome outcome.

Congrats! 🙌

@KostjaPalovic business anxiety is a common cause of "bad sleep" for founders. I've been there!

@stauffermatt @TightenCo Congrats! That title looks good on you. ❤️

@chris__sev ooof. 6 hours kills me. Need... 8-9 to feel normal.

@mattwensing Nice! Starting to look like a 🏒

@aurooba Thanks!

cc @lorindaapps

@jeffSARRIS @TransistorFM Me too. 🙏

@misterparker @Baremetrics Yup! I’d say many podcasters are prosumers. 👍

@MrSimonBennett This is it! 🙌 Life is good.

@BilalArarou They don’t have 50% churn.

Their revenue churn is currently 3.5%:

https://convertkit.baremetrics.com/stats/revenue-churn

Churn % is calculated by dividing the number of lost customers/revenue by the total number of customers/revenue you had at the beginning of the month.

@jeff_archibald 🎯 yup. Exactly.

@IlzeSvarcbaha Thanks for mentioning @TransistorFM! 🙌

@thatmoodyguy @nathanbarry Doesn’t matter much, no.

There are far more important things when it comes to podcast search.

https://transistor.fm/podcast-search/

@gaijinity Wow!!!!

@taylorotwell happy birthday!!! 🥳🥳

I miss hanging out!

@robwinkky @ianlandsman Haha. Came here to say this. Initially thought: “wow! This year’s Laracon is 🔥🔥”

@Jason_Stapleton We’ve been doing these every month since 2012ish.

There’s probably a group of ~100 who attend in a year, and we generally get 20-25 people each meetup.

@m1guelpf Nice! 🙌

@AcquiredFM my son thinks you should do an episode on the history of @valvesoftware!

“I think Valve is one of the most interesting video game companies ever.”

@benediktdeicke @userlist Congrats! 🍾🎉

@raechellambert Paris gets a lot of English travelers, so they’re used to it. 👍

Love this album.

@digitaltrouble Nice! 🙌

My friend @mikevardy has a new book coming out: “The Productivity Diet.”

It focuses on helping you get better work done (not just “more tasks”).

He’s running a Kickstarter (I just supported it!):

@cgenco NSFW 😬

@NathanG I realize that’s the dream, but there are significant trade offs related to creating “more relevant ads for you.”

For me, the most effective ads are when a brand just sponsors a host read ad on a podcast with an audience that makes sense for that product. No crazy tech needed.

@ryanacash @AcquiredFM Agreed! If you liked this one, you’ll probably like their SONY episode as well.

@HCWeiss Did you answer my Pedro Pascal poll? 😜

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1659686329687642112

@JackEllis YESSSSS

This is the spring 2023 Jack Ellis look we've been waiting for!

🟡💛🟨

@dglsparsons Hahaha.

@dvassallo Love it!

Will it have a fireplace?

@bergcoder Way more hot and dry than normal.

Most of the big fires are burning in northern Alberta:

@zackgilbert Netlify is a good option:

https://justinjackson.ca/tailwind-ui-netlify

@cgpat Agreed. We’re going to fix that by bumping up the key light. 👍

@yongfook Haha. Pretty much!

@theKevinShen @lorindaapps @TransistorFM Thanks for all your help @theKevinShen! ❤️

Air quality just got real bad:

#10.62/50.253/-119.2459" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.62/50.253/-119.2459

@mattwensing @usesummit Startup game is easy: just hit "pause" and take all the time you need to STRATEGIZE, SYNERGIZE, and MONETIZE. 😎

@noahwbragg Thanks so much! That's all @lorindaapps' work.

@TiagoSilvaHQ @TransistorFM Thanks! 🥰

It's all @lorindaapps' work.

@JoshDance @mjwhansen @buildyoursaas @GlideGear This here. 👍

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1653819337831235584

@derrickreimer Totally!

Thanks for sharing this.

I need to re-read @mjwhansen’s book again. 👍

@AlbanBrooke 🎯
