| 0:00.0 | Welcome to this week's episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm your host, Rob Walling. |
| 0:03.7 | This is a special abbreviated episode of Startups for the Rest of Us, a half episode as we like to do now and again. |
| 0:10.6 | It's the 10-year anniversary of the first episode of Startups for the Rest of Us that happened today. |
| 0:16.0 | A couple weeks ago, I submitted the podcast to Product Hunt for the first time. I just had a realization that we |
| 0:22.3 | had never submitted it to Product Hunt. And, you know, it's the 10-year anniversary month. And so I |
| 0:27.7 | submitted it and kind of wrote that up. And we received 434 upvotes. And I was super just super |
| 0:34.1 | touched by that and really impressed and frankly pretty proud of you know of what we've |
| 0:39.1 | built over these years i'm really happy that we decided to start this podcast mike and i all those |
| 0:45.3 | years ago i mean we really had the motivation clear from the start i'm actually going to roll about |
| 0:51.0 | the first five minutes of episode one it is agonizing for me to listen to. |

| 0:59.8 | subject you to that. But I'm going to have my editor roll the first five minutes of that after |
| 1:04.4 | I'm done chatting here. And something that I was struck by is our motivation was very clear from |
| 1:09.5 | the start. I said there are almost no |
| 1:11.8 | bootstrapping podcasts and my recollection is there was one and maybe one or two and the one or two |
| 1:19.3 | that I had heard didn't make good use of my time. There were no practical tips. You know, |
| 1:24.4 | they were not run by people who had actually been there and done that and had, |
| 1:28.0 | you know, some type of success and reason to give advice. And that, I think, still carries through |
| 1:34.3 | today. You know, I think on startups for the rest of us, I try to make good use of your time. |
| 1:37.7 | I try to cut to the chase and get to the things that are really valuable. And I try to speak |
| 1:41.2 | from my experience or the experience of guests. And so I just wanted |
| 1:45.4 | to say thank you. Thank you for your support over the past one episode, 10 episodes, 500 episodes, |
