EP7: Observe the tired man in his habitat
It’s the mid-week checkup!
It’s the mid-week checkup! Last Thursday Justin announced the first product he'd be building. He only has 7 days to do it.
In this episode you'll hear real-life journal entries from Justin as he attempts to write The Product Hunt handbook for delivery on Thursday.
He also got a special surprise... listen to hear about that.
