@JesperBylund @dvassallo @dr What is “fair?”

I frequently see people kicked out of bars screaming “it’s not fair! I didn’t do anything” to the bouncer.

@andrewshell @saasmag Thanks for sharing it!

@ChrisLaBossiere 🤯

RT @jonathanstark: Well deserved! I am a huge fan of @TransistorFM and @mijustin

@ninan99 @pjrvs Um.

RT @_LexusNicole: This looks like when Scar took over Pride Rock

@blirwin @sherlyholmes 🤦‍♂️

@mikecodemonkey @derrickreimer @r00k After meeting Paul and Jarrod on the internet, it seemed like we were all roughly at similar spots (they were both just ahead of where I wanted to be).

I emailed them and asked if we could start doing a call every week.

RT @theartofchristi: THIS! This is a big freelancer delusion that I laboured under for a long time. Charge what you're worth! And a little…

@harriskenny Yup. For me, “buyer” = person with the credit card.

@satpalparmar Thanks!

RT @mijustin: What ruins creativity:

Bitterness.
Insecurity.
Pettiness.
Jealousy.
Shame.
Hurts.
Fear.
Ego.

@gonedark Totally.

It can definitely work! I think it’s often like this in the dev market (where developers build things they want to use).

It can work, because “software devs” is a big market hungry for tools/education that helps them do their work better.

It’s a pretty unique market.

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

@zenfounder I think a lot of the pull is “networking.” https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1345521568307298304

RT @ianlandsman: Think you can also be passion adjacent. There's a lot of this in software. You might love building software, but you're no…

@CorbettBarr But isn’t Netflix a gatekeeper? What did they know that everyone else didn’t?

@songadaymann @siracusa @cottonbureau Love that room! So much natural light. ☀️🌅

@petebernardo Thanks!

Yes: margin is everything.

@j_schirrmeister Thanks!

@mo_salhan The market you choose, and the idea that you focus on are the most critical business decisions you’ll make. They determine your trajectory. 

Yes, how you execute is a part of that, but the idea itself sets your ceiling for success.

@hrishio Yes. It’s really good.

@ryangibsonuk Glad you found it meaningful!

Wishing you and your family all the best in 2021!

@daavisn Thanks Davis!

Reading @sivavaid:

“‘is it Facebook or we who are the problem?’ Again, the answer is “yes.” We are Facebook as much as Facebook is us.”

@KeliWestgate So far I’ve just slept until noon! 🙈

@aarondfrancis @JenKfrancis Whoaaaaa!

Congrats you two!

@SingleFounder 😅 I never read the TOS.

@mjwhansen Whaaaaaaat.

What’s it like? Is Biden President? Does everyone have a vaccine and a flying Tesla?

@MrSimonBennett Interesting that you desire to be leading a team!

That’s cool. 👍

@rosskay Here in the Okanagan, we've had very few new listings in the last three months.

My assumption (and I could be wrong 😉) is that if there's a bunch of stale inventory it's because it's the "leftovers" (less desirable properties).

That "30%" could become "5%" with new inventory.

@rosskay 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)

@stuartdsmith @tylertringas @jasonfried @CapicheFm Are we echoing?

@harriskenny @helloblinkshow @TransistorFM Thanks so much for switching to Transistor! ❤️

I've never had a creative…

@ninjaparade Yes! 🙌

RT @bgardner: Be known for what you are about to do, rather than what you have already done.

@adamwathan Amazing! Well done! 🙌

@xtenson Yes!

@emd @FreedomMobile @ShawInfo @telusmobility Public Mobile is the best deal I’ve found:

@marcelpociot 😜

@_brandswell What shoes did you end up getting though?

@ChrisLaBossiere Love the beams + vaulted ceilings. 😍

@iChris @mattmcgee @gangofyouths That turntable looks sweet! Love the wood.

@LisaAbeyta 💯

@shellen Merry Christmas Jason!

@thepodcastdude Merry Christmas! 🎄

@gonedark Same to you! Happy holidays! 🎄🎄🎄

For people who co-host these types of podcasts, the biggest benefit is that it’s like regular therapy!

I often say: I would do my show with @jonbuda even if no one was listening, because it’s so healthy for us as individuals. 🥰

@jessedriftwood1 echoes this here:

@jesseleite85 Merry Christmas Jesse!

@mattantwest I might have to give it another try.

@andreasjonssonn I understand the “zen-ness” of that; but the actual destination matters quite a bit.

If you’re in a prison, you can make the best of your circumstances but that should never dissuade you from trying to get out.

@shaisc Gotcha.

For me, it’s more helpful to label that as “finding meaning in difficult times.”

That meaning has definitely given me the will to persist when things are hard.

(Although, sometimes “persisting” has meant changing my destination)

@mattragland It seems that “creator” and “maker” are the two most widely used in practice.

@mattragland Done!

RT @mijustin: Looking for new business opportunities in 2021?

Here are a few trends I'm keeping my eyes on. 👉

@DBredvick My guess is that personal (recreational) travel will recover.

Business travel? I'm not so sure.

@dchymko THEY HAVE STORIES NOW DARYL

@brandonklotz @Netlify @tailwindcss @TransistorFM Nice! This looks (and sounds) great.

@neilkeena 👍

@LyricDominick 👍

@Erika_D_Smith And, the $270,000 that was allegedly wired to this ex-cop’s bank account?!

This whole story is a roller coaster of insanity.

@jongold I bought a bunch of gluten-free cookies and now I’m eating them in my pantry (with the lights off).

@seanwes 💯

@alphacolin @CustomerIO Are you donating on behalf of the corporation? How does that work in the USA?

@typeoneerror Me and my kids loved it!

“Whoa... Who is that? How come he has that? Wait. Could it be? OMG. NO WAY. No waaaaaaay.”

@harriskenny 🙌

@ninjaparade yessssss

@ninjaparade awwww yeaaaaah!

@ianlandsman Are you opening Christmas gifts already?

@theDanielJLewis 👀

@mquirion 🤣

@harriskenny Yes! This is an important step.

@ianlandsman Ironically, with Transistor, it’s the enterprise customers that pursue us the most!

They’re the ones sending multiple emails, asking me to “please sign the agreement,” and pushing the process forward.

RT @mijustin: In my experience, it's not worth chasing prospects who aren't already making an effort.

You want self-motivated customers: f…

@justinvincent This is just the appetizer, not the full meal. 👍

@justinvincent Just wait until you listen to the whole thing. 😉

@atalduwaisan When you have tons of funding or a massive following, you can sometimes influence customer demand.

ie. Kanye West can create demand for Yeezy.

However, even if you have influence, it often doesn't work.

ie. Casey Neitat and Beme.

@G_Langenderfer 💯

@brandonklotz 💯

@Mqsley wait. are you reading my tweet drafts? 😜

@theandreboso @mubashariqbal @adamwathan Not sustainably over the long haul though.

A company can’t really reach lasting scale using that technique.

@mubashariqbal You’re right!

Revising this more here: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1338220353135382529

@mubashariqbal Except Quibi wasn’t a distribution problem.

RT @mijustin: Good products don't always win. Products with *distribution* win.

@joshuaanderton Google has that feature?

@myfriendjanine We met at @xoxo in 2014.

@R2Rsquared @ProfJAParker 👋 greenhorn here.

I’m confused: “borrowing a lot is not a problem” but “pretending there is no borrowing isn’t wise.”

I don’t understand: who is pretending there is no borrowing?

@maggerbo @dhh @TransistorFM Yes. Something more performant than our current one.

@myfriendjanine Haha. Well, thank you. If you zoom in real close you can see all my stress lines. hahaha

The two youngest are really close.

But they're all close in the sense that they like each other. 😉

@mjwhansen @leenyburger Great episode! 🙌

@nloadholtes What!!!!

@seththeskier I just came off of 4-5 months without the Twitter app. 👍

The biggest thing I missed was the ability to “tweet video.”

@Shpigford Sadly.

I can see why many parent opt for homeschooling (but we’ve never quite been up for that).

I’ve have one of our kids in private school now. I wish that we could just use the public system... but the private system (so far) has been significantly better.

@thejonotron @AngelaHapke that scuba diving story was terrifying! 😱

@terinjokes Which ones?

@Jessica_B365 @jonbuda @TransistorFM Yes! 🙌
