The Boring Startup

In this episode I talk more about the build up for launch on Kickstarter. I talk about the key things I've been tracking and how it would help to have an entire team of people. Alas, it's just me with the help of some amazing people that got it done.

In this episode I talk about why I eventually decided to use Kickstarter to launch the puck despite strongly resisting it at first. I also talk about how it's been a harder process than I expected.

In this episode I talk about how my decision making process is slowed by my fear of choosing a suboptimal option. You don't know what you don't know and sometimes that can cripple your ability to get things done quickly.

In this episode I talk about what it means to bootstrap your company, some decisions I've made because I'm bootstrapping, and also cover some of the pros and cons of this approach to funding a business.

I ran afoul of the IRS and now I have to fix it. In this episode you get to learn from my mistake and get a little insight into tax form 1099-MISC. 

On this episode I talk about why I refer to what I'm doing as a "boring" startup. So much of the tech startup industry is headlined with company values and strategies that I completely disagree with. Instead of trying to create the next unicorn I'm just going for a boring startup that ties into my passion, makes money, grows steadily and does right by people.

I waited a year too late to start this podcast so on this episode I give you the flash briefing on where we're at and what's happened in the last year. The company is still very much in it's infancy but a lot of great work has already been put it. Here's a year's worth of episodes in 7 minutes.

In this episode I talk about the main product I am starting the company around as well as a little bit of the bigger vision that I want to pursue.

Welcome to The Boring Startup podcast. This podcast is my journey in trying to create a company from scratch. I'm just a guy with an idea and a vision of creating a company around it. Follow along to learn from my failures and successes and see if I can pull off a lifelong dream.
