Robert McMillan is founder of Camping Tools, an outdoor recreation app built on a contrarian principle: the software won't manipulate you. With 20+ years in enterprise architecture and cloud migration, Robert launched Camping Tools to solve the fragmentation problem in trip planning and create a platform that connects people without algorithmic manipulation. In this episode, we discuss why he chose the worst business model on purpose, the frog-in-boiling-water reality of data ownership, and why faith became non-negotiable as an entrepreneur. If you're building consumer tech, navigating product-market fit, or rethinking how platforms should treat users, this one delivers.
