0:00.0	Welcome to this week's episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. It's episode 526, and I'm your host, Rob Walling.
0:05.7	This week I have a conversation with Justin Vincent. You might recognize his name from the Tex-Zing podcast or from his project Nugget at Nugget.1.
0:14.7	He's launched apps. He's had successes. He's had failures. He's done a lot of learning.
0:18.8	And now he's doing some teaching at this website,
0:21.9	which started as an idea generation factory where he would basically sell new startup ideas.
0:28.4	And I still love the big corpus of ideas that he has there. And then he launched education

1:05.8	always jumps to the top of my queue on Tuesdays. The most recent news roundtable format was my
1:10.6	favorite episode of the show.
1:12.2	Not only was it riveting, but you all so effectively advocated for specific changes to help
1:16.8	bootstrap companies. The only way these things will change is if people are aware of the issues.
1:21.1	So thanks, Stephen, for writing in. I love doing those startup roundtable episodes about every two
1:26.4	to three months as there become enough
1:28.3	interesting stories that build up that I can bring a few people on and we can discuss them.
1:33.5	Another comment was about removing the intro song. I thought this one was kind of funny.
1:37.8	An anonymous listener wrote in, he says, I still can't get over the fact that you killed the
1:41.2	intro for startup for the rest of us, i.e., the scripted intro with the
1:45.4	song, we're out of control in the background. When you first started Tiny Seatales, I realized by listening
