I thought it would be fun to queue up a playlist based on your favorite or most impactful moments in the podcast.
One of my favorites comes from #079 with Julian Shapiro of Bell Curve on assessing your market:
You don’t want to go off hunches, ever. Hunches can propose some things for you to try, but data should then be what validates them. Hunches should not be what concludes on experiments or concludes on really important decisions.
I often catch myself falling into a trap of committing too far based on my creativity and emotions, and I think, for me, Julian's quote serves as a reminder to "do the work" and try to back up or disprove my assumptions.

Neat idea! I think much of Jason Cohen's podcast could be turned into PG style advice-bytes. One of my favorite as he talks about :
I find this advice so valuable because of what he said prior about the fact that for every advice X, that says you should do Y, you can find another piece of advice Z, that says you should do ¬Y and have it be an equally cogent argument.
Oh! Great choice!
I love any talk Jason Cohen gives. His MicroConf talks are aging but I think they hold up well. I especially enjoyed "Designing the Ideal Bootstrapped Business" https://vimeo.com/74338272
Awesome, I’ll give it a look!
