“It was like a rabbit hole. Once I started going in I was like, ‘Man, this is such a deep and complex market. There’s so much creativity, so much crazy history and the tech that underlies it is weirdly open in a way that’s unusual.’ So, there’s so many things that are fascinating about podcasting.” (15:24)
“The compounding effect of building your audience – of adding subscribers – is an amazing thing.” (29:30)
“Raising from outside investors is really hard and it puts a ton of pressure on you. And to willingly choose that takes a certain mindset, either ignorance or acceptance of those challenges that you’re placing on yourself.” (34:17)
“We’re really trying to do good work here. We’re not trying to do anything weird. We’re not trying to scam people. We’re not trying to collect data that we shouldn’t be or anything like that. We’re trying to help podcasters.” (40:40)
“It really does resonate with some part of me. It just feels like something I should be doing and something I enjoy doing. And so it’s fun to be able to mix that creative side with that technical side. As much as I like behind the mic, I’m generally better behind the computer keyboard.” (50:59)
