    Baby #2

    I just turned 44, and we just had our second daughter. Double girl dad. Let's go. This episode is a mix of life lessons, AI experiments, and some questionable investing decisions. I talk about what having a second kid taught me, why self-belief matters way more when revenue is down, and how getting older has made me care less about awards and more about meaning. I also tested OpenClaw, gave it real access to my life, and asked it to tell me what to say on this podcast. It lied. Then it admitted it lied. Which honestly felt very human. In this conversation you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: What becoming a dad (again) is teaching me about fear, confidence, and second reps Why picking the right partner and calling your parents might be the highest ROI decisions of your life How to ignore hype cycles, invest in boring things, and zag when everyone else zigs Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way. My book Million Dollar Weekend breaks down how to start a business in simple steps you can do in one weekend. I also send brutally honest emails about business and life.

    Standards Matter

    I just had lunch with someone who sold a billion-dollar company. What stuck with me wasn't the money, it was how seriously he took standards. Not just in his work but through his entire life. This month I talk about what standards really mean, why they're just values in action, and how raising them creates clarity instead of chaos. This is about doing better work, even when things feel messy, and coming out stronger on the other side. In this conversation you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: How to set real standards instead of vague values How to rebuild trust when customers check out Why higher standards actually make decisions easier Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

    AppSumo Horizon

    Today, I'm giving you part three of the AppSumo saga. Black Friday was rough, targets got missed, and the team felt it. But I zoomed out and the signals actually looked way better than expected. Refunds are dropping, deal quality is rising, customer sentiment is improving, and we're finally stabilizing the business after a horrible year. So in this episode I break down our simple three part plan to see out 2025, and talk about bundles, new partner offerings, the future of software, and how leadership really works when the scoreboard looks ugly. It's honestly the most exciting I've felt about AppSumo's horizon in a long time. In this conversation you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: How to course-correct when your Black Friday deal flops hard What I do when customers stop clicking How to avoid repeating the same mistakes next quarter Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

    AppSumo Is at War

    The past few months at AppSumo have been brutal. People are voting with their wallets and return buyers are down 40%.

    My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.   After a year of paternity leave, I'm back as CEO at AppSumo… and holy moly, it's been challenging.  In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes of stepping back into my company, where we've gone wrong in my absence, and what I'm doing to fix it. From running a "listening tour" across the company, to rethinking our deal standards, this is me working in real time to bring AppSumo back stronger than ever. It's been exhausting but humbling. If you've ever faced chaos in your own business, I think you'll get a lot out of this one.   In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: • How getting clear on "who owns what" keeps teams from drowning • Why true leadership beats management every time • Why making a call (even if it's not the right one) is always better than sitting on the fence Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.   I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics.

    Craftsmanship Is Sexy

    My book Million Dollar Weekend is for aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own business. I break down the process of starting into simple steps that you can do in just one weekend.   As summer wraps up and I pack for Austin, I've been reflecting on my time in Europe. One book I stumbled across in Portugal hit the mood perfectly and got me thinking about craftsmanship, curiosity, and what it really takes to build something you're proud of. It's Always Summer on the Inside is the biography of Jack O'Neill, the surf pioneer who turned freezing San Francisco waves into a global wetsuit empire. His story is a sharp reminder that the best businesses are born from solving real problems and obsessing over quality. I also did my first bookstore event and spoke at a local high school. Both reminded me that deep down most of us already know the answers to our big questions. The real challenge is showing up, putting in the reps, and creating work that lasts.   In this episode, you'll hear 3 BIG things: • Why craftsmanship and quality always beat shortcuts • How to stop waiting for permission and act on your intuition • Why success hides in the boring, unglamorous repetitions   Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

No matter what you sell, there's always a way to go that extra mile for your customers.   In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things:   How small, low cost touches can leave a big impact and wow your customers.
