This was a great read! Thanks Rob. How would you go about getting people on interview calls? Because fundamentally you're asking for some of their time.

For me, it's the perfect time to get a lot of work done. I don't really get much from relaxing / having fun when there's things I must accomplish. So it hasn't been much of a mental sacrifice honestly.
How do you spend your weekends?

Seems the biggest business model is selling shovels in the gold rush. All the tools you need to make money are on subscription haha. Among others, I have Instantly, Google Workspace, some paid Skool communities.. probably around $100/mo. Stresses me out just thinking about it! Gotta spend money to make money, I suppose.

For sure brick and mortar businesses - they're usually behind the times on tech / automation, and could see a significant benefit. They're also not very tech savvy, so it could be a harder sell - having to explain how it works - but also potentially a higher willingness to pay instead of DIYing it.

I think it's still important to build in public, so that prospects don't think you're some random Internet scammer - but I think the bar is rising in terms of the quality of posts.
Is building in public losing its value?
