A lost episode, finally found and worth the wait. John and Kris get into the real conversations founders rarely have out loud.
Topics covered:
- Recording in person vs. remote - why it changes everything from the conversation to the edit
- Zoom fatigue and the surprising reason video calls wear you out
- The compounding effect: Atomic Habits applied to building a podcast (and a business)
- Hiring contractors vs. in-person employees - the messier, harder reality
- Patience as a founder - why wanting things to move faster creates its own kind of damage
- Open loops, stress, and why celebrating closed wins matters more than we admit
- The cost of being a yes-person when your time is your most valuable asset
- What's fueling the fire: books, podcasts, community events, and people showing up
Mentioned:
- Atomic Habits – James Clear
- Ready, Fire, Aim – Michael Masterson
