Flying to Austin this morning for SXSW. I've spent the last month reaching out to founders, CEOs, and builders I admire asking if they'd sit down for a conversation. Here's what that actually looks like. These are the people kind enough to respond. I have 20x this amount who simply didn't. I started this 6 years ago in my apartment with no audience, no sponsors, and no connections. That hasn't changed as much as I'd like. Sometimes you just have to do the thing… The reality of trying to start a podcast is that most people will ignore you. You show up anyway.
