What's the newest format that's going viral? It's building, behind-the-scenes, and sharing what goes into making something. Think about some things brands are posting about their products: the wins, the fails, how it all came together. Audiences eat this up. Building in public like this generates engagement. Jay gives an example of how huge companies like Hubspot are doing it. Daniel mentions people flock to content like this because it makes them feel like an insider, and as we all know, content succeeds when people feel emotionally connected to it. And, what does a brand's founder have to do with all of this? They're a piece of the puzzle. This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about building hype and going behind the scenes.

Welcome to 2025's 1st episode [and my comeback episode] of the Build In Public Podcast!
Like many startups, PostNitro didn't start with its current idea. It began as a Twitter automation tool until Elon Musk's API changes forced a complete reset. With two months of development scrapped, the team had to rethink everything. During this transition, Muneeb Awan promoted its original product by designing carousel posts and infographics. The process was frustrating. Manual, time-consuming, and inefficient. Highlights include: Market Validation Before Building (03:05), Free Product Beta Release (04:30), Building In Public, Twitter Edition (06:10), Launching Pricing Plans Without Losing Free Users (12:41), And more… Are you looking to create repeatable, scalable, and predictable revenue?

We're discussing the recent turmoil in the AI market today. OpenAI has kept the journalistic corps busy, but we also need to consider what the latest twists and turns in the l'affaire Altman may bring for startup founders.So, I rallied TechCrunch's own Kyle Wiggers, and Supervised founder and former Equity host Matthew Lynley to help me dig into the latest. Here's the show rundown:What has happened to OpenAI since Monday morning when we last recorded the podcast?What do the two experts think will happen to OpenAI's staff in the coming weeks?What should startups that use OpenAI technology do to lower their platform risk?And, does the OpenAI mess provide a boost to open-source AI models?We had a really lovely time. A big thank you to our ever-busy producer Theresa Loconsolo for getting an extra episode out on a holiday week!For episode transcripts and more, head to Equity's Simplecast website.Equity drops at 7 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

Whenever I ask people questions about the future on the podcast, I always caveat the question by saying that no one can predict the future. However, you can develop tools, knowledge and techniques to give you strategic foresight to plan for the future. Once you start properly planning for the future, you actually begin to influence and shape what the future will be. Now imagine what being able to shape the future would mean for your strategic planning and, more importantly, your career. I'm tapping into the body of knowledge Recruiting Future has built up over the last nine years to create an online course that will help you identify and understand the key trends that are driving talent acquisition, predict where they are likely to take us and develop the mindset you need to proactively develop your career in an industry where disruptive change is going to be the norm for years to come. I'm going to build the course in public, and I'm launching this podcast mini-series to document my journey from the initial idea to the final product. Please listen to this first episode to learn more and join the mailing list to ensure you are the first to know when the course launches.
