This is one of the best resources on REAL customer interviews that I know.

$2.99 is a steal. Don't sleep on this and help Michele get her reviws back up on the new release!

Do you think it will work in audio format?

Bluesky!?! No seriously. Demand side sales by Bob Moesta

What’s the cost. Is that max mode?

OMG! I feel seen. This is me right now

Great read and solid lessons

Killing the event. So, knowing I wasn’t going to do another one. Then time. I knew I was back when I started thinking about new business ideas. Really killed my creativity.

I did manage to pull it round for a profit in the end. Not doing that again though

Meet-ups are fine. Hosting 300 people when you are -£10k was not 😂

I had definite burnout when I ran a conference. It took months to get back to normal after the event was finished. I’d also decided never to run one again so there was no stress from the next years event

Do you use Slack?

It's incredible what huge mindset shifts I get from this

If you liked that pod episode then you need to get the videos from Microconf EU. Marie’s talk was great.

This has been my life for the past 3 months. We have been aggressively attack these. We had mini test retry masking flaky tests!

I was telling @mjwhansen.com how much I missed Software Social a while back. Nice to hear you back in the mic

Just started listening. So now I can listen to the panel podcast 🥳

Great run! But 😢

What am I going to listen to on my walk to work.

Ha! This became a thing I our household a few Christmases ago. I never realised it was a big thing in the US

We’ve had lots of interest and lovely comments about launching with Dyslexia Friendly mode…

Shout out must go to @benaldred.bsky.social from consentkit.com for inspiring us and helping us out with it 🙏

I wondered if you were going to do a final final episode. Look forward to listening. Although I think I know what the news is.

Hello world

Haha! That’s amazing. And very true

Very accurate. Except with a Guinness instead of a coffee 😀
