Nice little episode and some really useful tips Ryan - I love this type of home-grown programme: pick a targeted subject and talk in real terms.

Can I suggest that you invest in a clip-on mic? The improved sound quality would add so much more to the presentation, and I’m sure would give you more confidence when you hear the improvement it makes.

Hey Phil,

Thanks for the kind words. I’ll check into a clip mic. I appreciate the suggestion.

Best,

great idea - looking forward to the next chapter!
it’s good to see a focus on those little things that people forget, like bank charges and contingency on your expenses.

good use of your blackwall too ;)

Nice, wish someone had given me that when we started.

I’ve published my startup cashflow spreadsheet on scribd. See angusbradley.com for a copy.

Just wondering if there are any communities around that cater specifically to web start ups other than thinkvitamin?
