Why don't people care about what you've made?

In this episode: why your "thing" needs to be in people's top 3.

Why don't people care about what you've made?

In this episode: why your "thing" needs to be in people's top 3.

What is this show about? Who is it for?

Justin is making 100 things in 2016. Some of the projects are just for fun; and others are so he can make a living.

Really, this show is a lot about exploring the tension between living a creative life, while also making a living.

Everybody has a top 3

You probably have 3 apps on your phone that you use 80% of the time.

Unless you can get into someone's top 3, it's going to be difficult for them to really connect with that thing you've made.
