Self-Made is a Myth Podcast
I’m never one to turn down being on a podcast, especially since acquiring Fireside.fm, a podcast host. So yesterday, I hopped on a call with Tim Campsall to chat about running Box Out and Very Good. And the crazy thing is it’s already out on Youtube. I wasn’t in my home office so my background was bleak and my audio was subpar but still a great conversation.
Highlights
- Shortest path between builders and users is critical.
- Hire “batteries included” people who are self-driven.
- I’m not really good at anything specific. I’m just good at being glue.
- Measure progress (time tracking) and celebrate wins to avoid burnout.
- Design products to save people time. Design your business to free your own time.
- People buy from people. My dream as a developer is to build a good product and never talk to anyone, but it just doesn’t work that way.
