@einarvollset Who, in particular?

I’m following lots of smart people who have been in the field for decades with legitimate concerns.

Dr. Stuart Russell
Gary Marcus
Yoshua Bengio
Max Tegmark
Kay Firth-Butterfield

@joelgascoigne Let me know if you do share those numbers; I'd like to write a piece on this. 👍

@KeliWestgate Hahahaha. @therealmcwilly just sent me this too.

@jmckinven @TransistorFM Generally, we let you go over a few months before we ask you to upgrade.

@NesslerBernhard @ylecun ChatGPT disagrees with your assessment.

"AI involves the use of sophisticated algorithms, machine learning techniques, and deep neural networks... advanced concepts in statistics and probability theory, as well as specialized areas of mathematics"

@zackgilbert Keep going! 🙌

@wbetiago This feels more akin to what we saw happen with search: Google Search surprised the world by capturing the consumer market (even though it was built by geeks).

ChatGPT has done something similar with AI: 100+ million users in a matter of weeks!

@robwalling Just backed it! Can’t wait!

@mariepoulin 😱

@sherrywalling @robwalling Looks amazing! 🤩

@stephenrobles @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton He's already helped so much; it will be awesome building new stuff with him now that he's full-time!

@joshuaanderton 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

@aarondfrancis @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton 🤣 We're HJJJJ

@EmmettNaughton @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton Yes! We've already benefitted so much from Josh's work.

Can't wait to see what we can all do together as a team of 5.

@ChilliDoor @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton He's already made some big contributions!

It will be nice to have more of his time and energy. 🎯

@flowdee @TransistorFM Nope! Even better.

@ianlandsman Yup. I mentioned that in the full piece:

"To me, the advice ('raise your prices') is more relevant advice when your [startup is] new. I find that often people come out of the gate with prices that are too low. That's the moment where I feel like the advice is more relevant." – @asmartbear

@nbashaw 🤔 not sure there’s a direct correlation between the reduction of bookkeepers and the rise of those other careers.

Those dynamics could all be separate from each other.

@aarondfrancis @BillDA @ElementsBrands Saw this. It’s wild.

@eyuzwa Thank you! 🙌

Listen to the whole conversation here:
https://tbf.fm/episodes/200-justin-jackson-bootstrapping-transistor-fm-on-open-standards

@Patticus @Shpigford Nice! 🙌

@p_millerd Yup! We've played with it.

@VicVijayakumar Yup. Generally (and usually at the and time)

@jasonfried I've been bugging @jonbuda about letting me write this off as a business expense.😜

In our partnership, he's the "watcher of costs." He said "no." Hahaha.

(you're right: low costs give you more margin [and not just financial])

@cblavier @arvidkahl Thanks Christian. 🙌

I wrote more about "charge more" here:
https://justinjackson.ca/charge-more

@calebporzio What!? That majorly sucks dude.

I'm going to sponsor you now. ❤️

Weirdly, I still see PayPal on the checkout screen?

@michaelkoper Yup.

And I'd modify that slightly to:

"Building a business that can give you a great life."

A good business (with good margins) can become the engine that gives you a great life.

@AsiaOrangio Many things, but this was one of them: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1407376097092591627

@brennandunn really hoping we can keep @TransistorFM's affiliate program "good" for a long time. 🤞

(no plans of changing it; our affiliates have been incredible partners for us)

@aarondfrancis Well done Aaron! Looks amazing.

@jkostolansky I'm on it. 👍

@petersuhm @stephsmithio ☝️ this

@iamjeremyenns Nice 👏

You’re so consistent!

@stephenrobles Congrats! 🎉

@GeoffTRoberts Yes. Crypto too.

@m1guelpf Happy birthday! 🎉

You’re impressive at any age. ☺️

Keep being curious, meeting cool people, and building stuff!

@TheOmarZenhom @nathanbarry @lkr @noahkagan @csavage @joelgascoigne @amix3k Here’s a bunch of tips for what worked for us!

https://justinjackson.ca/team-retreat

@jmckinven Well done! 🙌

@mdo @github Whoa! Big move.

Best of luck with your next adventure! 🎉

@BryanBarletta Haha. Love this take.

@mattmedeiros @MyPodStudio @stephenrobles Just put this up:
https://mypodstudios.com/resources

@benry @MyPodStudio @stephenrobles Isn't Stephen's setup awesome? 🤩

@jonhainstock @digitaltrouble @chatterdocs_ai @YouTube @TransistorFM Cool! Just tried it out. 👍

@jmckinven @indiebitespod Congrats! 🤩

BTW – even before the pandemic boosted demand for workers (and increased salaries), "switching jobs to increase your wages" was an observed phenonemon.

From 2016:
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/02/job-switchers-raise/460044/

"Among FT workers who [who switch jobs] are seeing healthy wage growth."

@CasJam @ZipMessage @Clarityflow Congrats on the move! The new branding and positioning look great! 🙌

@dceddia EXACTLY

@wendyzuk we’re in dire need of a “Ice baths: do they work?” episode of @sciencevs 🙏

@AsiaOrangio I'm scared of everything, though:

Stranger Things
Breaking Bad
Outlander

Just Disney movies for me thanks. 😄

@iroughol @buildyoursaas Yup! We're looking at other platforms as well. 👍

@SamTalksTech Nah, more skiing photos please! 🙏

@Maribel_QS I love Austin! Really great city with tons of good restaurants and bars. 👍

@tylertringas @adii 🤦‍♂️

@mrdanmiller @gommo @pushtoprodpod Sweet! I’ll check it out. 👍

@ajlkn Congrats! 🎉

@BryanBarletta Wow!

@JoelKlettke 🤣

@arvidkahl @tylertringas @TransistorFM 🙌 nice

@arvidkahl @TransistorFM I like this idea!

@RamliJohn 🙌

@iamjeremyenns @PodMarkTrends @TransistorFM 🥰

@thethoughtcard @PodcastMovement 👏

@jmckinven We just increased the Starter tier!

@jmckinven Nice work! 🙌

@scottmathson For me (Canada), you're location 3-4 (ignoring sponsored listings)

BTW – I think you could improve CTR by changing your meta image to a photo of a highly sought classic truck.

@kaleighf @EmmaFayeS @TransistorFM Yes! Well done! 🎉🎉🎉

@valsopi @edithmayhall Yeah, clearly Aristotle wasn’t an SEO consultant producing “skyscraper” content 😆

@DanielZarick Congrats! HubSpot is lucky to have you as a partner. 🙌

@JackEllis @jmckinven First, try without the Cloudlifter (I get enough gain out of my audio interface to use the SM7B without Cloudlifter)

Next, try new mic cables.

@calebporzio but does it work for the name "justin.jackson"

As long as your existing hosting provider supports redirects (and they should!) you can transfer your podcasts to @TransistorFM without losing any of your subscribers:

@Russellvaughan @TransistorFM @ecosendmail Thanks so much, Russell! 🥰

@valsopi ❤️

@jayacunzo 🙌

@andrewculver Love it.

@ChrisLivdahl @PatFlynn Thanks!

I’d be down. I think I’ve had a pretty interesting bootstrapping journey. 🤙

@drewclemcr8 I reached out to software products that I already used and loved who I thought would be a good fit for our audience.

@danecardiel Congrats! Big day! 🙌

@corinnpope Looks great!

@jonfriesen What! 👀

@cgenco Looks great!

@alfrednerstu @buildyoursaas @OvercastFM @Spotify @ApplePodcasts Do you show a different price for regions with no tax?

@cyupa89 @CasJam @pauldm Yeah. Spotify is still better than the Apple app in Tesla.

Hopefully they fix it soon.

@pbteja1998 @bytebln @lkr @stripe @PaddleHQ @lmsqueezy Did you two start on Paddle, or migrate existing customers + subscriptions to Paddle from Stripe?

@jmckinven 🙌

@reuvenmlerner Yup.

@FoxNews Whoa! 🤩

@cjav_dev Oh yeah. I have that. I should check that out.

@DanielEytan That’s @SilverStarMR in #vernonbc

@KeliWestgate @mijustin@mastodon.social

@icebearlabs @digitaltrouble 🤔 How does corporate income tax work where you live?

Here, you only pay income tax on profit.

For Canadian corps claiming the small business deduction, the net tax rate is 9% (+ 2% for my province, BC).

Example:
$1 million revenue
- $900k expenses
= $100k profit
= $11k taxes

@jarek_rozanski Nope.

https://www.taxathand.com/article/17368/Canada/2021/BCs-expanded-PST-requirements-will-apply-as-from-1-April-2021

@TimLeland Thank you!

@coreyhainesco Wow! 🙌

Well done! Building an email list to that size isn’t easy!
