Justin and Jon dive into the growing backlog of features, bugs and tasks, and talk about how they might better manage it as a two-person team. A big new milestone is reached!

• Jon had a bit of anxiety over the growing backlog in Clubhouse
• New ideas were being thrown into an unscheduled list, but weren't yet actionable.
• Some ideas can be left alone for awhile and revisited to see if they're still worthwhile.
• Ben Orenstein wants to delete your entire backlog.
• 6 week cycles like Basecamp does might help out - but what does that mean for a tiny team?
• We hit $20K in MRR in under a year!
