In this episode of Startups for the Rest of us, Mike and I talk about nine key takeaways from MicroConf 2019.

This is Startups for the Rest of Us, episode 439.

Welcome to Startups for the Rest of Us, the podcast.

It helps developers, designers, and entrepreneurs be awesome in 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 at this week, man. You sound a little tired.

It's mostly the voice. It's just a little

scratchy. So I am a little tired, but, you know, it could be worse. I mean, after seven days in

Vegas, that'll do it to you. That's the thing, right? Normally, we record this, this microcomf

episode the week after, or at least a day or two after MicroConf. And this year, due to my travel schedule,

I'm heading to London in a couple days. We basically have been in Vegas for six and seven days,

respectively, and voices are shot and all the things. So hopefully it'll go well. I think we're,

aren't we also, uh, both drinking rye whiskey right now? Yes, it's a whistle pig rye. It's a, well, it's called whistle pig, but it's a rye whiskey, and it's quite nice.

They make it up in Vermont.

Yeah, it's very nice.

So this will be a fun episode.

I have some takeaways that I pulled away from starter and growth, see how many we can get

through.
