Welcome to this week's episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm your host, Rob Walling.

On the show, we talk about building startups in an organic, sustainable fashion in a way that

focuses more on your life, your personal life, and your lifestyle, rather than focusing on building

a billion dollar business. We like to value freedom, purpose, and relationships on the show.

And you'll notice that while my co-host, Mike Tabor, is on hiatus, I've been experimenting

and dabbling in a few different show formats.

If you've enjoyed the change-up and the focus on improving the podcast quality, including

the recent interviews with Laura Roder and Jeff Epstein, as well as the Q&A sessions I've had with

Tracy Osborne, Jordan Gahl, as well as the hot seat with Matt Wensing.

Let me know.

Reach out, questions at Startups for the Rest of Us.com, or you can tweet it out.

I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

And, of course, if you're able to give a

five-star rating in any of the podcast apps you use, it's much appreciated. Today on the show,

I'm doing a different intro because I'm trying something I don't know that we've ever done before.

It's to do a throwback episode. And what I did is I went back through the archive and I picked

out one of the all-time most popular episodes of this podcast.

It's episode 14.

It was published July 13th, 2010.

So almost to the day, it was nine years ago.

And what's also interesting is that when this episode went live, my second son was five days old.

That's just an interesting coincidence.
