One idea a day from a geek business builder.

After 1,000 episodes, the jury is in – this is the world's slackest podcast. 5-minutes a day on story, strategy or whatever's yanked my chain. No guests. No ads. No apologies.

This is me thinking out loud, putting things together, going down dead ends and making mistakes.
