MegaMaker - It's been 4 years since we did this
Four years ago (2018), Jon Buda and I were in his apartment in Chicago, getting ready to launch a brand new podcast hosting company.

Since then, Transistor has provided us with the indie business lifestyle we'd always dreamt about. And, these days we get to share that with our employees (Jason and Helen).
On Monday, we're going to celebrate our fourth anniversary by recording an episode of our podcast together.
What questions do you want us to cover in our anniversary episode?
Reply to this email, and we'll answer as many of them as we can.
Cheers,
Justin Jackson

PS: if you'd like to read/listen to some of our backstory, I recommend starting with this episode, and these blog posts.
