@cgenco @andrewculver Yea, that was bad. Probably the worst I was ever on was from Providence to Philadelphia to catch a connection. I've flown a lot and have experience turbulence, but never that bad. I white knuckled the armrests and literally kept hoping they'd turn around and go back.

@andrewculver @SingleFounder and I were on a pretty spooky flight to Microconf in Croatia where one of the engines went out or something? They flew us back to Heathrow and we got to hang out in the fancy lounge for free.

What was the scariest flight you’ve ever been on?

Another epic episode of the SG podcast with @SingleFounder, where we discuss building SaaS companies, how to start from zero, and much more. Give it a listen here: open.substack.com/pub/joshschach…

I was interviewed by Josh Schachnow of the Solopreneur Grind Podcast this past week about building a SaaS. Check it out: Video: youtu.be/A5WI28NERCc Audio only: solopreneurgrind.com/podcast/ Thanks @joshschachnow1 for having me!

@WindAddict If they send you candy corn, then yes.

Is American Express trolling me? Is this a test? 🤣

The TinySeed Millionaire Rate is 43%. Definition: Of @tinyseedfund companies no longer in operation (sold OR shut down), 43% of those founders are now millionaires.💰 This % will obviously change over time. It's still early, and the numbers are still small (~2% of companies have shut down. ~4% have sold). But this is yet another reminder of how resilient and insanely valuable SaaS companies are. Personally, I find this number incredible. Much higher than I would have expected, and it brings me nothing but joy knowing the lives that have been changed through entrepreneurship.

@RobbiewOnline Nothing on SFTROU lately or coming soon. Mostly just keeping my head down and plugging away. Business is still pretty stable and tech stack is doing pretty well again. Getting ready to push for more customers now that those issues are mostly resolved.

@SingleFounder I haven't seen any updates from you on X for a while, how's BlueTick coming along? Have you done any catch-up episodes on STFTROU recently?

At YCBM we: - Over 20,000 customers. - Own 100% of the company. - Have a fully remote international team. - Have made profit every year for the last 6 years. But . . We’ve also been in business for 12 years. Success doesn’t happen overnight.

@doreenmartel @AndyOstroy @gmail Yes. I've been seeing a lot of errors over the last 24 hours. It appears to be a problem connecting to the servers on the target ports. Might connect a couple of times, then errors as if the port is closed, then connects again, etc.

@AndyOstroy @gmail Mine is working fine!!

Is anyone else having problems sending/receiving @gmail #gmail and getting this msg?:

Dear @firstcitizens, when you took over after SVB imploded, you said no changes were forthcoming, but I see you tripled one of your fees. What's that about? Great way to rebuild trust. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm out.

Solo founder tip: When you run into a software architectural problem, if you explain the details to ChatGPT and ask it for suggestions on how to resolve it, the results can be reasonably helpful. Basically it's a great sounding board that you can "argue" with.

@dzchristinaghk It's called Road Trip. The basic idea is you're a band on tour and attempting to become the band with the longest road trip. Mostly a numbers game that's got some randomness thrown into it.

@SingleFounder What game is this playing?

@chaddeshon Hey, someone brought your game to board game night!

@lovevalgeisler Three emojis, two haiku's and a partridge in a pear tree.

A fun guessing game. What do we think the requirements are? I have over 8 characters, capital and lowercase letters, numbers, and a symbol in this one.

@einarvollset Do you accept rubbery checks? ;)

Congrats to @ClaireSuellen and @ggiiaa on hitting the Amazon Best Seller list for their "Forget the Funnel" book! It's a total steal so grab your copy today! amzn.to/42G8Ab6

@mooneyr @robwalling @MicroConf shhhhh.... ;)

@SingleFounder @robwalling @MicroConf They are saving you from the embarrassment of having ordered 3 Appletinis

Bar bill from MicroConf 2012 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas. Seems like forever ago and yesterday at the same time. cc: @robwalling @MicroConf

@daverodenbaugh @earthlingworks @robwalling @MicroConf Yea that was the worst part of that place. Couldn’t even have a conversation.

@SingleFounder @earthlingworks @robwalling @MicroConf I also remember how loud it was, too. Could barely hear each other... 😵‍💫

@earthlingworks @daverodenbaugh @robwalling @MicroConf I know for a fact I included the photo, but I’ll try it again…

@daverodenbaugh @robwalling @SingleFounder @MicroConf Funny doesn’t even need the photo, we all remember it

@robwalling @MicroConf WTF. Did Twitter rip out the photo? Jeez.

@SingleFounder @MicroConf For real.

@jtbooth1021 @chaddeshon On Tour. There was a Kickstarter for it a few years ago. You can get it at boardgametables.com these days.

@SingleFounder @chaddeshon What's this called?
