@monodot @WordPress @laravelphp @alpinejs @tailwindcss @rails Thanks. Yup, when you own the platform, eventually, it’s in your interest to squeeze 3rd parties.

@MicheleJGelfand fascinating discussion here on @HiddenBrain!

Would you define Canada as a “loose” culture? (It seems we’ve had very little threats on our soil)

@cheriehu42 To me, the success of something is dictated by *how much people want it.*

Some successes are innovative, but packaging, timing, and distribution probably play a bigger role.

@anne_theriault I kept looking for your hands! 🤣

@matthewgkay @tiny_wins I’ve shut that domain down. The content is still available on Podia for past customers.

@nbashaw Often, when we get that feeling of unlocking “great execution” what we’ve actually unlocked is a “pent-up pocket of demand.”

I’m not saying that quality doesn’t matter! The quality of a thing can be a facet of demand. (“I want a better quality pen.”)

@bvujanov @tailwindcss Hahahaa. Oops. Sorry about that

@bvujanov We have a changelog here:

Currently, we’re working on a UI refresh (switching over to @tailwindcss), which is taking a long time, but will pave the way for future features. 👍

@chasewreeves Yes. As long as it looks like this.

@chasewreeves Very good article.

This is only going to get exacerbated because of covid, because the way to make it through a pandemic is to “have cash, and lots of it.”

@evangoldin 💯

@elizejackson is Thisten down right now?

@laurentmtl Good leadership is showing up in difficult times and showing that you’re willing to put your life on the line in the same way your employees are.

@emd @TransferWise Technically they should be able to wire the money into your Transferwise account.

@thejonotron Yup! https://usefathom.com/ref/EJPZOB

@JackEllis @JamesAddison Yup. @wave_apps does this as well.

@lucasarruda @bvujanov Yes. But still cheaper for me to get a direct bank transfer (via PayPal) then to bill a client’s credit card pay Stripe 2.9% transaction fee.

For smaller payments (SaaS, memberships, etc..) charging in Stripe still makes sense though. 👍

@delconte Yes, I've applied for some of these, but I don't know if it will be fast enough for me.

@bvujanov No, we bill with Stripe, but PayPal is still the fastest and cheapest way to send money internationally right now.

@glenwheeler @notrab +1 on this

@bandrewsays I’ve said this before but, HOT DAMN your reviews are good! 🙌

@AswathDamodaran @YounglingAndCo @noahkagan Yup! I agree: once you identify the demand then your unique skills, attributes, product quality, leverage, connections, and resources all matter.

However, I think the order matters:
1. Market first
2. Then product/service

😉 (I mentioned that in the video as well)

@YounglingAndCo @noahkagan @AswathDamodaran This is why I'm not a fan of the pm-fit model. Too often, it puts the cart before the horse.

You could be the best at making foie gras, but that won't matter if the market only wants 🍔.

Sure, you can bring foie gras to the table, but that doesn't mean folks will eat it.

@YounglingAndCo @noahkagan @AswathDamodaran He was presenting it like this:

“First, determine the unique product you’re going to bring to the table.”

But, my whole point is that it needs to be:

“First, look at what the market is hungry for, and bring that to the table.”

@heyjoshwood This hair needs to be hidden! 🤣

@noahkagan @AswathDamodaran 😘 love u

Aswath was incredible in this episode! 💯 He made me really think about how I teach.

@RyanTheJenks Chains typically have more margins, more bargaining power, and more cash in the bank, which helps them ride out the storm.

@StephanieKelton Omg.

@mastermynde @_architexture_ @LIFTstartups Thanks!

@MisterNeem No physical copies currently. I've tried in the past to get it up on Amazon and always ran into roadblocks.

Just submitted it for review now!

@troypavlek @TransistorFM @davegerhardt Not exactly sure what you're saying here Troy. 😉

Almost every bootstrapped business starts with months (or more realistically, years) of "unpaid" work. You're risking your sweat equity hoping for a payoff in the future.

@MisterNeem What the heck.

https://devmarketing.xyz is the correct place to get it.
