In this episode, we answer some questions from MegaMaker members:

Val asks: "I'm super curious about this: How much of starting Meeps was a "hunch" rather than a structured discovery?"
Ben asks: "Validation, what are ya'll trying right now/soon to get a signal if you're onto something? Also, is there a "company-wide" donut Friday? 😉"
Tom asks: "Yes, specifically user discovery: how do you validate that the customer has, knows about, and will pay to solve the problem?"
Jon: "(From our remote work discussion in MegaMaker): I'm interested in learning how you work together. Pros/cons?"

I'm doing a new season of MegaMaker. This season I'll be investing in Joshua Anderton, and partnering with him on a new project. The first episode is coming soon!

You may have noticed: I've deleted all past episodes from this feed.

Now I have Transistor.fm, and it's going well. So, for the first time ever, I'm in a position to invest in someone else.

That's what we're going to be doing here on MegaMaker. And my first investment is going to be in Joshua Anderton. He's built a product called Upscribe.
