0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Startups with the Rest of Us. I'm Rob Walling, and this is the podcast
0:04.5	where we talk about topics related to building, launching, and growing successful software
0:10.0	products with an emphasis on SaaS and an emphasis on bootstrapping or mostly bootstrapping your
0:15.4	company. We talk about doing it in a capital efficient way that allows you to have a sane
0:20.0	life as you change your life and those around you.
0:23.3	Today, I answer listener questions with Derek Reimer. He is a fan favorite.

1:06.3	I would expect a few tickets to become available in the coming weeks. In addition, MicroConf Remote is next
1:11.9	week. That's where we teach founders how to up their sales game, diving into cold email and doing
1:17.1	demos and just getting better in general as a founder at sales. That's at microconf.com slash remote.
1:23.2	And with that, let's dive into my conversation with Derek.
1:35.0	Thank you. And with that, let's dive into my conversation with Derek. Derek Reimer, back for more punishment, huh?
1:38.8	Back for more.
1:39.9	I'm ready.
1:40.7	We have some good listener questions that are in your wheelhouse today.
