Chris Sacca told Time Ferris that "we're super f*cked;" I'm not convinced. I'm curious to hear what you think!

Cheers, PS: have you subscribed to The Panel podcast yet? Our last episode with Taylor Otwell (Laravel) and Caleb Porzio (Livewire) was 🔥. |

For them, pivoting between projects keeps them fresh and prevents burnout, even when the traditional wisdom is to "just focus." Listen wherever you get your podcasts:...
In the pursuit of "making podcasts more discoverable," the podcast industry has welcomed YouTube with open arms. However, I think we're underestimating YouTube. I think it's "eating the world" in a way we've never seen before: I just made a video about it: I also wrote a blog post about it: 👉 justinjackson.ca/podcast-industry-youtube And I released it as a podcast as well: JUSTIN'S BRAIN • EPISODE 11 Is YouTube going to kill audio podcasts? 10:19 MORE INFO I don't think YouTube cares about...
