Summary

Episode 90: Today I’m interviewing Jason Fried who is a legendary entrepreneur. Jason is the cofounder & CEO of 37signals which is a software development company that has created popular products like Basecamp, Hey, and others. 37signals is completely bootstrapped, it’s been in business since 1999, it has more than 100,000 customers and it does tens of millions in profit per year. In addition to listening to this pod I highly recommend you follow Jason on twitter, check out his blog posts (which I’ll link to in the show notes), and read his books Getting Real, REWORK, and Remote. On this episode of Founder’s Journal I pick some of my favorite Fried musings from over the years to discuss with him. These range from how to build good culture to what good leadership looks like, having the right mindset for business adversity & much much more.
