I'd like to give a shout out to a few folks that gave me a bit of love and feedback as I announced Speaking of Products on social media in the past week (last names omitted to protect the innocent 😉):

RobKostaIliyanElizabethKristinScottValDeanSimonNoahBenMattJordanDaveSimonSteveBenediktBrianRickTylerJoshuaArvidTomDan's Product Journey UpdateLast week I had planned a few items and I'm pleased to say I actually found the time to get them done:I was able to finish setting up version one of Speaking of Products and hit publish as planned.Thank goodness for that!It's actually taken quite a while to get it going... I started producing everything in late December and so it's been a good two months of work to get to this point. Admittedly, I've only got nights and weekends to this sort of stuff and so I'm quite happy.Well actually, I'm bit more than happy. It's fair to say I'm pretty much over the moon about it all! It's such a good feeling when you get to deploy and ship something that you've been wanting to do for several years!During the week I was also able to get started on planning out my product development path, which I will talk about more in a future episode.Next week my plan is the following:Look into setting up a Patreon account so that anyone that wants to support the show can do so.Refine and filter the ideas for the product I am thinking of working on.Draw up a list of the types of customers that I think the product might serve.Importantly, I'm going start jotting down some initial ways I could get started with marketing the product early.That's it for the update this week.Join in With the ShowIf you have a question, feedback or suggestions for a topic, we would love to hear from you.We also welcome short snippets about your own product journey which we might go through on the show.You can get in touch via Twitter: @SpeakOfProducts or @mrdanmillerSubscribeSubscribe to the show on your favourite podcast player, or wherever you get your podcasts, by searching for Speaking of Products.Please Give a RatingRatings help other people find out about the show.If you enjoy the show, please consider giving us a rating on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher
