The Podcast helps developers, designers, and entrepreneurs be awesome at building, launching, and growing software products.

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

0:25.5

And we're here to share our experiences to help you avoid the same mistakes we've made. What's going on this week, Rob?

0:29.5

You know, I just felt like we haven't done kind of a casual episode in a while where you and I talk about things that are going on. We often get stuck in this,
