Steven has interesting news about the job search. Dan is making a game! Nobody has enough spoons.

Steven finally spills the beans about how that crazy kombucha recipe from last episode ended up tasting, Dan celebrates the release of the Teams update for Nodewood, and more!

Dan gets on a soapboax. Steven uses bacteria to make tasty drinks. The recurring theme this week is making sacrifices to hold to your ideals.

This week, we spend most of the episode talking ourselves out of turning hobbies into side hustles, and explore WHY that urge is so strong these days.

Two things are sure in life - having a difficult time finding good public data sets for AI analysis, and figuring out how to safely and accurately pay taxes in foreign countries!

A little bit about Steven's and Dan's plans, and a whole lot about The Basecamp Situation.

In the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas special, the Island of Misfit Toys was full of toys that were actually perfect for different girls and boys than originally intended. This week, Steven and Dan discuss some misfit business ideas that aren't bad, per se, just aren't for them, and why.

We're taking a short break! As we evaluate new business ideas, we wanted to give those ideas some room to breathe without trying to force them into easily-digestible podcast bites each week. We hope to be back in early May with fresh ideas, topics, and conversation!

The format for the show is changing! We still talk about our Modest Products, but this week also features: rye vs bourbon, drastic haircuts, and very screamy metal bands.

We talk about neat things like how to choose a product and how to write blog posts, and also about terrible things like DST and taxes. Kind of a rollercoaster!
