🌆We came back from an event in Brooklyn to do this podcast at Alou’s office. Dedication Dedication Dedication💪! We’ll try to keep showing up even if it’s for 15  - 20 minutes.

As we stated before, sometimes a product might take a bit longer to build out than usual or we’ll get preliminary traction that will make us put time into it so we have to focus on the product at times more than the podcast.

The event went well and we spoke a lil about how it’s important to go put yourself out there and network. You will mingle with those in your industry/sector and that can open doors through partnerships. We actually met some amazing people and some not so lol. It’s all part of the experience though! 😎

We hardly have any updates besides what we had said last week. Alou is fine tuning the prototype for InterviewMaster, designing specifically the user flow for the student’s dashboards and experience. Ron has finalized the podcast land page but mostly for the web. He will tweak it for mobile as we are using Wix as a starter website for something quick.

We spoke a lil about our upcoming Pitch contest, so listen in on how that came to be and what they are expecting from each team/candidate.

Milestone episode accomplished ✅. Some don’t make it this far surprisingly. We kept Consistently keep putting episodes out even though we were ‘tired’🤣. It’s funny because were actually recording this and Ron’s phone died so we lost that video 🥹 but we got the audio at least.

It has been valuable to keep coming back each week and setting new goals for our product that we built out to put into the market, job market specifically. Several events unfolded when we were building this as we spoke with interesting folks in Tech. 

In this episode we went over such events and how they happened. 

🎙️Tune in to find out more on the key lessons that we learned so far in this milestone episode. We have more interesting topics to be discussed with InterviewMaster, and thought it’d be cool to just do an off-shoot episode on our next intended Industry. 

We want some engagement with the podcast too so this is where we will create a poll/survey to see what Industry yall think needs revamping or a valuable product offer.

Ron is back baby! Ready to build more than ever and Surprise surprise, he got a job in his field so go congratulate him 🤣via linkedin. 

We went into one more competitor that was found from Ron’s keyword analysis. Ron went a bit over some basic SEO principles but kept it simple.

Alou will be building out the landing page over the weekend so we can get it ready for this investor pitch we have on monday. It will provide us with feedback on the product and if investors would even be willing to invest capital into something like what we are building. 

One of our goals for next week is to put out more posts on our insta 📸. I know our feed is a bit dry lol but we’ll get it juiced up soon with valuable content.

A great marketing tool for discovering content ideas 🧠: Answer the Public

🛡️Competitor:

Ron sort of hinted at one of our second feature here for InterviewMaster but what this competitor is doing is not what we believe students would prefer for a successful career outcome.

This episode was supposed to be the demo, but an expected event happened which made it not happen. It did lead to a new pivot in terms of what we're going to build, So we decided to go back to the drawing board and brainstorm a lil bit more before we come back to the podcast to talk about it in detail. Hope you guys enjoy today's podcast and let's keep exploring this journey of knowledge and curiosity.
