MegaMaker - Featured in a magazine

(@mijustin here)

Hi friends,

This was a cool experience: SaaS Magazine (yes, there's a magazine for that) recently did this feature on my journey with Transistor:

https://www.saasmag.com/riding-the-wave-justin-jackson-on-his-startup-journey-and-finding-market-fit/

Here's a key insight:

You need to be in motion: keep working on stuff and keep putting projects out in public. For example, writing, podcasting, tweeting, writing code–creating projects and releasing them. The key is, you’re in motion! It also helps you observe markets and getting out of your bubble. If you’re staying home and doing nothing, it’s going to be difficult for opportunities to arise.

The people at the magazine told me that "the highest-performing web pieces will make it into the print version," so if you enjoy it, please share it!

(It'd be cool to see it in print).

Hope you're doing well. Working on something cool? Let me know.

Cheers,
Justin Jackson
