Such a wealth of knowledge for hackers! 🧠

This is one of the most insightful podcasts for web app entrepreneurs that I have ever come across! Justin and Jason do such a great job of sharing their wisdom and I love how you can learn something new, no matter the topic at hard. Highly recommend checking this show out - you won’t be disappointed!

Great Podcast

I don’t know anything about tech but I love hearing about what these two awesome guys are up to. The episodes have slowed over the years but I love it when a new one pops up.

Started listening again. I forgot how much I love this show

I used to listen to this show a lot but it had been a few years.

I remembered and gave a listen again and I'm here to stay!

BTW, Justin and Jason, if you read this...it was really cool to see how much you both have done over the interim. I love listening to your day-to-day struggles while listening regularly, but coming back after some time away was like seeing an old friend that had lost a lot of weight and is in the best shape of their life!

Keep up the great work, guys!
