Justin I was really interested to hear about the backend development for Morning brief. I was wondering if you could share more details on how you collect data via the non official API means if you feel comfortable doing that? I shelved a fintech idea recently because the projected social media API costs were prohibitively expensive and now I’m wondering if I can potentially revive it.

Update suggestion – I’d be interested to hear about what some of the friends of the show are up to now eg Phil and Rob Walling.

Sorry to hear about how COVID basically killed MV Code Club

Podcast rebranding: why not go with “Luck Surface Area”? just saw this was already mentioned, so must be a great idea 🙂

Topic ideas:
Re-interviewing previous interviewees to see where they are now. Still doing the same thing, or something different

Interviewing the site owners for the various links that the episode show notes include, like First1000 and Zero to Users in this episode’s notes.

Dead Projects Society: failed/dropped projects that y’all have worked on that you’ve stopped and why they failed or were dropped. Maybe with some distance you might be able to better evaluate why they didn’t work, and what you’d do differently now. Hearing mentions of AppIgnite and AnyFu made me think of this.

Can’t wait to hear about the cs course!

I think a perfect blog post for Math Academy that explains what it can help students do is Derek Sivers “No Speed Limit”. https://sive.rs/kimo

Morning routine just got order of magnitude better 🙂

Thanks guys for all your hard work and letting us in on your interesting lives.

Been listening to you since day one, plan to be here for a thousand more !

Glad to hear you guys are back!

Here is my idea: I think Jason could do a podcast tour just talking about having your own podcast for 10 years. I think a lot of the newer but popular podcast hosts would be really interested and you could hit a broad market to talk about Match Academy.

Podcast name ideas:

Luck Surface Area — it fits well, Justin and Jason talk about things they’re interested in and share it out to all the listeners.

The Mark II Podcast — second podcast, rebooted with new and improved…everything (Iron Man/Tony Stark style)

RETOOL — “Revise or reorganize, especially for the purpose of updating and improving”

I think you should do the podcast circuit if you want to get the word out and increase your luck surface area. Suggestions of shows with a guest interview format:

Embedded.fm
The Lex Fridman Podcast
The Michael Shemer Show
The Tim Ferriss Show

There’s always that bit at the end when the guest is asked, “and where can the listeners find you,” that you can use to funnel people back here and to your Twitter account.

Your discussions of investments have convinced me that one of the major upsides to angel investing is that you simply don’t have a choice about selling it for years. Coinbase and BTC had similar growth but people like Gary Tan were forced to hold onto it but almost nobody could hold onto BTC over the last nine years.

What a teaser at the end! I was really curious what happened to that space-themed 4x game Colby and the others were working on. Another thing that would be interesting to hear about is your experiences contracting and/or advising for equity in very early stage startups.
