Episode 374: Good Thing I Have A Calculator
Manton talks with Daniel about Micro.blog’s mention in The New Yorker, which leads into a discussion about being on the lookout for PR opportunities, and “answering every call” even if you don’t particularly feel like talking to the press. Daniel reviews his experiences with Setapp, one week into listing MarsEdit on the subscription service, and the two reflect on the virtue of investing in multiple sales channels as a way of diversifying the opportunity for lucky breaks.
