In this episode of Startups to the Rest of us, Mike and I talk about managing your emotions,

the cost of an MVP, and more listener questions.

This is Start Up to the Rest of Us, episode 433.

Welcome to Startups to the Rest of Us, the podcast that helps developers, designers, and entrepreneurs be awesome at building, launching, and growing software products.

Whether you've built your first product or you're just thinking about it. I'm Rob. And I'm Mike.

And we're here to share our experiences to help you avoid the same mistakes we've made. So we're this week, sir.

Well, just wanted to give people a reminder that today is the last day to apply for the starter edition scholarships. And as I said before, we've got over 25 to give away. We will link it up in the show notes. But definitely go check it out. If you're interested at all in coming to microcom starter edition, just fill out the application. It doesn't take more than five or ten minutes to do, and we will have

those within the next couple of days. The notifications will go out and let people know who has been

awarded the scholarships, and hopefully everybody who is able to accept them. And if not, then we'll

go back to the pool and kind of go to the quote-unquote runners up to see who else is available.

Because obviously, like some people's travel plans change or whatever. So we make sure that if we're going to give somebody a scholarship,

they can actually use it. So it may take a few extra days. Yep. Head over to episode 433 on

Startups for the Rest of Us.com for a link to that in our show notes. For me, not a ton of updates

was on vacation and now looking forward

to some home construction being done on our house here in Minneapolis. We bought it about eight

months ago and during the escrow process, an inspection picked up some, you know, some anomalies in

the stucco. And so we got a credit to have

those fixed. And all that's fine, except for the fact that it was supposed to take two months and it's

been like seven months of construction. And so things are getting put back together now. But it,

you know, it just kind of wears on you and it can be loud. I mean, you and I've recorded in the past few months, and I'm having to mute, and we have to edit out things, and there's people in my house all the time, and so

really looking forward to that being done, and I think the internal stuff, because they had to

replace some windows and restucco things, and they can't restock with things because it's too cold
