Show Notes
Hey friends — JDM here 👋
Well, it’s finally arrived!
This is the first episode of Zero to Traction, so we’re going to take a few minutes to walk through the ins and outs of startups at the 30k-ft level.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where we dive deep into customers and customer discovery with the co-founders of a Baltimore-based startup called EcoMap.
Thank you so much for being part of our journey here, and letting us be a smart part of yours.
On today’s show:
* Who are we and why are we doing this?
* What is Zero to Traction?
* What is the work of a startup, what is traction, and other general concepts.
* Why trying for investment from day 1 will doom your startup to fail
* And more!
Frivolous thoughts
* Cameron shares his thoughts on how ChatGPT is changing his workflow
* JDM watched the first episode of season 3 of Star Trek: Picard, and gets Cameron to confess he’s never seen an episode of any Star Trek show.
