“Just started listening (so I’m back in the 2018 episodes). It’s like a fly on the wall to hear how this is done, that is, how do startups — well, startup? Jon and Justin do a great job of explaining even the most minor of challenges to their listeners. For example, should we pay $25 a month for...”Read full review »

“I’m a solo SaaS founder in Fort Langley, Canada. It’s hard enough to run a business by yourself never-mind keeping a day job and being a decent Dad/Husband.
This podcast has been the motivation I need on days when I’m ready to quit altogether. Thanks so much Justin & Jon!”
