Hey, podcast listeners, things might start to sound a little bit different here on the Colin

and Samir show. And that's because we have some exciting news to share. We just joined the LinkedIn

podcast network. You may notice on our podcast art that it says LinkedIn presents at the top.

Now, there's a bunch of different reasons why we wanted to partner with LinkedIn to present this

podcast. And we're going to talk about that more in our next episode. But one of the

things that this allows us to do is bring more audio exclusive episodes to the podcast feed,

including this one. Today on the show, we're speaking with Nick Martel and Jack Kramer of the hit

podcast, The Best One Yet. Some of you may know it as Snacks Daily. Nick and Jack met back in college in Middlebury,

Vermont, and they became fast friends and eventually business partners. They launched a business

newsletter called Market Snacks that eventually went on to be acquired by the stock trading app,

Robin Hood. Both Colin and I have been huge fans of their show for years. We've been really

inspired not only by how they've built their podcast,

but also how they've built a true community with the show. They'll take really complex stories

from the business world and make them very accessible and relatable. And that's something that

Samir and I hope we do for all of you in the creator economy. Recently, Nick and Jack left Robin Hood,

but kept their podcast under a new name, the best one yet.

And you'll find out why that's the name later on in this episode.

After Nick and Jack went independent, they actually reached out to Colin and I to help them build a video version of their show on YouTube.

So this episode is actually part of a two-part series with Nick and Jack.

In this first episode, you'll hear about

how they built their wildly successful newsletter and podcast. And in part two, you'll hear us

troubleshoot some of the problems that they're facing while going independent. All right, we hope
