2:15 2.5% of the internet? That deserved at least a bit of applause. These people come to share a wealth of wisdom, so the audience could do the bare minimum and show their admiration for the speaker's achievements. Psychologically, just a bit of community love could mean more to them than the dough in their bank. Keeps them going and all...

Huge Respect for Jason, keep bringing more people like Jason. I am building my Saas and I am YCombinator Alumnus

[@MicroConf]

Thanks for watching!

[@martianstarslit3768]

Awesome I'm also building one. Can we connect?

[@growthbusinesstemplates]

Jason’s a brilliant guy. Such a nice, thoughtful tone and pace. Q: “When did you know you achieved product market fit?” A: “We couldn’t keep up with orders.” 😂

[@katasticone]

Phenomenal talk. I could listen to Jason speak all day.

[@MicroConf]

Thank you, Kathie.

[@bensmith807]

Same!

[@Gigawattt]

I love the concept of Writestorming! asynchronous brainstorming is definitely needed because Jason’s right: Zoomstorming was definitely not the remote-work answer to brainstorming

[@ray-mc-l]

I feel like having a billion dollar company and have a CEO run it for you is the absolute dream. I never see anyone content about how you would hire the CEO, and real stories of failures/successes. Would be an interesting watch.

20:08 just checked he fell back to second place 🤣

[@jameslcowan]

These videos deserve more attention, I know someone else in the comments already said it but I could listen to Jason all day. He still sounds excited about his business, at the end of the day I think that's how we'd all love to feel.

[@MicroConf]

Thank you! And yes, Jason is awesome!

[@cowboyuniverse7258]

So good

[@yuriy5376]

Someone needs to tell Rob to get a haircut- we aren’t in middle school anymore bro

[@stevebenjaminsmusic]

You’re the one commenting on a grown man’s haircut… that’s a way more middle school thing to do 😂

[@wchristian2000]

No matter how rich you are, you can still get clowned on for your hair. Noted.

[@edenrosales8214]

[@BarryFranks]
