@podcastage Do I need to have 48V turned on on the Presonus to power the Cloudlifter?

(Someone told me the SM7B itself doesn't need phantom power)

@fulligin @IndieHackers I should take drugs the next time I talk with @csallen then. 😉

It’s exactly the kind of podcast I like: twists, turns, and questioning conventional “truths.”

Replying to @ChristianDoesAI
@ChristianUffel I was just using that as an example; I agree that (in business) you should know before that.

But even ideas that seem good after customer interviews may still not have the momentum you need.

At each stage (pre-launch, launch, first 6 months, etc) you need to feel it out.

@Swizec For me it’s about desired results, and the amount of effort that’s required to sustain those results.

@edzola @jayriverlong Agreed. Great post, but it doesn’t feel like remote work fits here.

(For me, it’s been incredibly liberating)

@flowdee Yup, but doesn’t mean they couldn’t easily calculate the VAT, accept the payment, and remit it to the EU.

They already have the ability to split payments.

@cptfellow Still feels like a central entity (like Stripe) can do this better with software that automatically determines what the vendor and buyer amounts are and charge accordingly (and then remit that to the government).

@smtm See? Already this is too complicated.

Replying to @smtm
@smtm But why make small businesses deal with that at all?

To me, it feels like we’re duplicating effort where we don’t have to.

The EU could deal with a handful of entities (Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad).

@AlinaCSava To me, it feels like we’re duplicating effort where we don’t have to.

It doesn’t make sense to have millions of businesses collecting, remitting, and doing the paperwork, when the EU could deal with a handful of entities (Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad).

@MarkJHenderson Lol. I’m not trying to get into a pissing match with you Mark.

BTW - are we talking about the same thing? Trial to paid with credit card up front?

@arturo_meza01 But generally, you're "ratcheting up" to that number. It takes time to get up to 200 trials per month (you start at 10, then go to 30, then 50...)

These days I'm thinking of $10K MRR as "ramen profitable" for most solo-founders, and $25k MRR as a "pretty good living."

@GSto They appear in your feed immediately.

However, Apple has been ridiculously slow in updating lately.

Their new official response is that it takes "up to 24 hours" for an episode to appear in Apple Podcasts (mobile, desktop, web).
