TLDR; In the spirit of other bootstrap/startup podcasts out there, I’m now cohosting my own show that is called “Push to Prod”. You can find out more and subscribe here https://pushtoprod.transistor.fm/

We’ve launched Episodes 1 & 2 so you can subscribe today ready for Episode 3 coming tomorrow.

I’ve always gained tremendous value from the podcasts of other startups and entrepreneurs going along similar journeys. The likes of “Startups for the Rest of Us”, “Bootstrapped Web” and “Startup to Last”.

It’s time to try to give back in the same sense.

Hosting a startup podcast was an itch I always wanted to scratch and so when I put a call out a few weeks back and found a fellow Aussie wanting to do the same thing (Cheers @mrdanmiller) we popped on a call and connected.

The first obvious thing was Dan had a ‘mint in box’ Skeletor figurine in the background which instantly told me all I had to know 😄

It honestly feels like the first time that I’m building a product where I feel unshackled by others’ needs or pressures. For most of the time building my last startup, I was either still consulting on the side or heads down in an earn-out period.

While I’ve always been super happy and committed in the past, I always was conscious of keeping within the confines of other people’s structures (probably most imagined in my own head), but still. It helps when you know it’s your journey you’re documenting.

And with the team at Userlot behind the idea of working more in the open and transparently (where we can of course), it’s a great time to be more public about the journey of building a new product.

And all the craziness that comes along with that.

So welcome to the world Push to Prod.

We hope to embody the value of pushing your items to production and into the hands of customers frequently. To push your creations for review and criticism.

After all, it’s the people, and the customer, that provides the most insight.

So, if you like to listen to a couple of people ramble on about learning and building software, then we’d appreciate a subscribe and a follow.
