In this episode:

Jon and Justin open up about the challenges of bootstrapping "on the side."
How things have gotten harder (in some ways) now that we have customers.
Jon is finding it hard to juggle his day job, and getting time to build the "big features."
Justin flip-flips back and forth about investment. Would investors and advisors meddle too much?
We also discuss the Spotify rumors: buying Gimlet for $200 - $230 million?
Also, a theory about why Apple should have made Gimlet an offer.
