Jon and Justin discuss: Good mics for podcasters. Justin recommends the Samson Q2U and the ATR2100. Make sure you get a pop filter! Starting our 6-week cycle (based on Basecamp's Shape Up) Working through unknowns for software projects: "Where do we start?" What's it been like being a transparent startup? Is it still a good idea? "It feels less and less comfortable, and I don't know why." – Jon "All people see is the revenue numbers; they don't understand what's happening underneath those numbers." – Justin "Wait a second. Bootstrapped startups are different: the goal isn't to change the way people behave, it's to recognize where people are already in motion." How long should you work on an idea before you quit? ★ Thanks to our sponsors: ActiveCampaign. Get the world's most advanced marketing & sales automation platform.
