@bnchrch Nice! 🙌

@gonedark Glad you enjoyed the episode!

I think you’re misunderstanding my position.

I’m advocating that you go after groups that are already pulling for your product. You’re not trying to “break trail;” you’re responding to demand that already exists.

@CorbettBarr I think what’s interesting is the change in the role of “tastemakers.” It used to be white men, in executive boardrooms.

Now, it’s “taste discerners.” Folks who learn to identify the pull of the market, and respond to that pull with a well-executed solution.

@siddharthkp Great photos!

Happy new year. 🥳

@michaeldyrynda Yes

@metajess Haven't tried Bramble yet.

@missbikesalot 💯 this.

@peldi Thanks Peldi!

All the best to you and your family as well!

2021 is going to be a great year. 🙌

@edimoldovan Thanks Ed!

Wishing you all the best this year! 🎉

@smithtimmytim As someone who left the religion I grew up in (fairly late in life, in my late 20s), I know a bit of how you’re feeling.

I’ve found way more freedom outside of the church than in it. 🙌

@ThatDetroitAndy Happy new year Andy!

Wishing you all the best in 2021. 🥳

@_rchase_ @hostifi_net Incredible progress! Well done!

@evanpro Congratulations! 🥳

@KeliWestgate Happy new year Keli!

@mikeherreraTD All the best to you and your family! 🥳

@Mattylantz @caslizski What a beauty!

@PierreDeWulf @SahinKevin Awwwwww yeaaaaaaaaahhhh

@venikunche Hoping for an incredible 2021 for you and your family Veni! 🎉

@syedbalkhi Enjoyed this one! Congrats on all your success this year. 👍

Wishing you, your family, and your team all the best in 2021.

@hmacbe We need way more context for this:

- what types of properties? (condos, vacant lots, houses?)
- is one region more represented? (Langley, CoV)
- how fast did the other 60% of properties moving?

Is it possible that all the quality properties sold before Xmas? (Leftovers)

@punchlinecopy That house would easily be $800k-$1.2 million (CAD) where I live. 👀

@typeoneerror 🙋‍♂️ I’m definitely in favor of paying the people who save our lives.

@MoreWillie In the biz, they call that a “pivot.”

@bentoalson Such a great line

(but the underlying reality is pretty sad 😞)

@CorbettBarr Yes! Those too!

@noplanstomerge @TransistorFM ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@dchymko One advantage short podcasts have is they often get "auto-played" as folks are on long drives/walks etc.

But... it really depends on the show and the audience.

@chrisachard Yes! It’s unexpectedly good.

@janelleallen Uh oh!

We’ve had numerous plumbing problems this year as well. 😩

Hope it turned out ok!

@gpickin Whoa! Nice.

@jayclouse @plantmammal Congrats!!! 🎉

@danshipper Yes! This is especially true for writers.

(Some writers have to wait centuries before their ideas truly resonate 😄)

@theartofchristi Happy birthday!!! 🎁

@michiels oh nice. Two Christmases!

@enigmaticsoulrg Me too! 🤙

@cheriehu42 It’s really wonderful.

Also: I’ve never had a movie transport me back to New York like that.

@raspberrysarah 🐞 ✨

@justinvincent Agree. 💯

@iChris 🙌 winning. Best life.

@ideasasylum Omg. Yes

@tnorthcutt Merry Christmas! 🙌

@andreasjonssonn I definitely agree that “the desire of the future can make us miss the present.”

In some ways, that’s why I like “enjoying the destination.” It feels like the ultimate expression of “enjoying where you are.”

@MrSimonBennett Are you “rebuilding” your Mini... or just breaking it down further?

@Shpigford 😮😮😮

@robwalling @brhea My immediate thought while listening was “Brian should reach out to Rob.” 😜

@adamwathan 💯

@hoon_sky @ShaanVP We have a 14 day free trial, but I see what you’re saying.

@abhiroopm Largely because Apple is allowing users to block it.

But also because consumers and governments are becoming more privacy conscious.

@nateliason At @TransistorFM we give 25% commission, recurring, for as long as they’re a customer.

@shreshthmohan Life hack 🤙

@LenaSesardic 😅 yikes!

@babacarcissedia 2-3 years ago I think?

@petersuhm This is the content I’m here for.

@MoreWillie this is hot

@mattragland Love this advice. 💯

@dmathewwws Yes! That Kalamalka Lake. 👍

@mikeherreraTD @goldfingermusic Nice! 🙌 This sounds great.

@sambreed Nailed it!

@thewatts @adamwathan @patio11 @TaxJar @basecamp I don’t want an add-on; I want it built-in. 😄

@adamwathan @patio11 +1

@iChris lol 🤣

Some things are for my only fans.™

@jacqmtimmons All the best in 2021 as well! Wishing you even more success. 🎉🥳

@stauffermatt Watched this on Friday. 👍

@tnorthcutt @TransistorFM LOVE THIS!

@LenaSesardic It’s the most incredible feeling!

@Aylon133 @jasonfried When has this happened, in practice?

@DanielZarick Yup. That’s pretty much what we concluded.

@G_Langenderfer It's a piece of it.

For me, I needed:

- founder/market fit
- founder/product fit
- founder/company fit

But, you also need a good market, and a product that has traction in that market. 😉

https://justinjackson.ca/want

@harriskenny @heyhey I don't think @heyhey created demand. They tapped into demand that was already there.

When they wrote "You started getting stuff you didn’t want from people you didn’t know. You lost control over who could reach you," they're appealing to a paint point *were* feeling.

@jonhainstock @robwalling Targeting "customer pain" (the way you've described it) is difficult to get right.

Mostly because it's hard to know what the potential market for that thing is.

In many cases, founders are choosing pain-points that don't have enough demand.

@mattragland @TransistorFM YESSS! Thanks so much Matt.

We’re happy to have you! 🙌

@Aylon133 @jasonfried If you're in the CRM market, you're in the CRM market (and are beholden to the characteristics of that market).

You might appeal to a certain customer segment within a category, but the underlying factors are largely the same for all providers in the market.

@levidxyz I was just going to mention that. 😉

Such a good way to phrase it. 👍

@theandreboso @mubashariqbal @adamwathan Yeah. I’m pretty bearish on a lot of the DTC trends.

They seem to be impulse oriented (and don’t lead to repeatable sales for the brand).

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”

@adamwathan @mubashariqbal I think it gets more interesting when you recognize that certain markets have better conditions than others.

Some markets are bigger, easier to reach, have a greater ability to pay, and have desires that we (as founders) might be better at fulfilling.

What about Google Podcasts?

Nope. No recommendations for “what to listen to next.”

For all the hype that Spotify gets as a podcast player... their recommendations are nil?

They highlight podcast trailers in the feed, but that’s it.

Let’s head over to @ApplePodcasts next.

If you scroll down, they actually provide two “suggested” reels:

- “more from Witness Docs”
- “you might also like”

There’s a bunch of shows here that look interesting to me here.

These recommendations feel pretty solid. 👍

I listen in @OvercastFM.

Overcast is an awesome podcast app, but they don’t really provide recommendations.

The closest thing I get is a trailer for another podcast that @witnessdocs put in the feed.

@mattlehrer @StephanieKelton Ordered it. Just need to read it!

Really important message from @zenfounder:

“Let’s not be surprised. We are all vulnerable to isolation, loneliness, and self-destruction.”

@theothercole @joinClubhouse Beauty! Followed.

@venikunche Wow! Looks awesome!

@valsopi There are a ton, trust me. 😅

@Mqsley @IndieHackers @TransistorFM In most cases, they found us!

http://transistor.fm/affiliates

@inevernu tons of Transistor feeds.... 😉

@venikunche Oh no! That sucks

@Shopify @Square @LightspeedHQ @WooCommerce Anything cool for my spouse, my kids, or my nieces!

@myfriendjanine Mine are older now. 😅

18 (in college 😮)
15 (grade 10)
12 (grade 7)
11 (grade 6)

@jonnyplatt Lol. Warm day, so gloves were off while on the lift. 🤙

@Zebras_Unite @DoorDash Yes! Made a video with ideas for community-driven DoorDash alternatives:

@leenyburger @mjwhansen 🙌

@jitbit Sign me up

@dominicstpierre @Shpigford Agreed. 💯

@danjmeehan @twindeavor @jonbuda Thank you Dan! ❤️

@keithdamiani @jasonfried @dhh @VelocityWong @shildner 😂

@Shpigford I just bought the Dyson for my office and it’s helped a lot. 👍

@mattscottnelson Love that “breakthrough” feeling. 🤙
