What are the unique challenges of building a mobile app? Which soft skills are essential for developers? Learn from Tim Bornholdt, an entrepreneur, developer, and podcaster based out of Minneapolis. Tim is the co-founder and partner at The Jed Mahonis Group, a tech agency that builds custom iOS and Android software for businesses. His podcast, Constant Variables, is a show that explains app development without technical jargon. In this episode, we talk about mobile development as well as soft skills as a developer. We start with Tim's journey from buying the first iPhone to learning mobile development and starting his company.

Want to build relationships, meet interesting people, have great conversations and also generate new business? You should consider starting a podcast. If Both guests and listeners can turn into net new business or into referrers, which is exactly what Tim Bornholdt, Partner at the Jed Mahonis Group has been able to achieve with his podcast, Constant Variables. What you'll learn in this episode: How to figure out what content your audience wants to hear. How to select your podcast guests How to decide on your podcast format How to get a podcast started - how to get it off the ground How little children always end up headbutting the “sensitive areas” when giving hugs. Totally not marketing related, but any of our listeners who are parents - you will get a chuckle out of that part of the conversation. Tims's recommendations: The podcast content needs to stand on its own and should be the focus, rather than focusing on business development. Consider giving your B2B podcast a separate brand with a separate website, to give it more authenticity and separation from your corporate brand. Don't edit your own podcast Consume some different types of podcasts before producing your own Figure out what parts of podcasting you like, focus on those and outsource the rest. You'll need to listen to the full episode if you want to hear the Lightning Round, but here are a few highlights: Tim is really excited about testing AR Tim can't function without Slack Proofpoint's POV:We love podcasts here at Proofpoint. Obviously. Gaby and I have now run two of them. The first was Mixing Business With Pleasure, which we put on hiatus and hope to pick up again this year, and the second is this one. With over 50 episodes under our belts, and many more planned, here is what we have taken away: The worst thing that can happen if you host a podcast is you learn something. The second worst thing that can happen is that you mean someone interesting. We have learned a ton from some amazing marketing leaders and power couples, and we have made some genuine connections and even friends through this endeavor. While you can't take that directly to the bank, there is a lot of value just from that aspect. Of course you can't use that as a business case to your boss to start a B2B company podcast, but the next few should be good for that. A podcast can be your content development engine. A 30-minute episode can fuel more than a week's worth of social media and blog content. It can generate content for the company, to be used for demand generation efforts, and it can also generate content for the various individuals (hosts and guests) involved, which fosters personal branding and employee advocacy, which in-turn help put faces to the company name and build trust with your ICP. A podcast can be a business development tool in more ways than one. As we discussed with Tim, getting your ideal customers to come on the show is one strategy, and it's a great one as long as you focus on the content itself, not the business development activity. The goal is to create good content and build a relationship, not make a sale. But more than that, a podcast can fuel your sales outreach content strategy. Imagine your are having a conversation with a prospective customer and they mention that they are struggling to figure out how to make more from their webinars, and then you say “we actually just had a great conversation about that with Ben Reese last week, you should take a listen to that episode”.  So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start your podcast! A bit more about Tim:Tim has a journalism and videography background and then got into development. He is the co-founder and partner at the Jed Mahonis Group - a full-stack, mobile software solutions consultancy.

The Jed Mahonis Group has been building mobile apps since 2012, and we’ve tripped over many hurdles when launching iOS apps. Tim and Rob share their tricks of the trade for building apps specifically for iOS, so you can learn from our mistakes and successfully navigate Apple’s unique roadblocks. (And if you’re looking to build an Android app, our next episode has you covered.)

Tim Bornholdt is an entrepreneur, software developer, podcaster, and the founder of The Jed Mahonis Group. There, Tim specializes in helping businesses to strategize, design, develop, and deploy custom iOS and Android mobile application systems that optimize a business's processes and improve their bottom line. Tim takes pride in not only building powerful mobile apps, but building powerful long-lasting relationships with his clients as he helps them scale, grow, and automate their businesses. The Jed Mahonis Group has been delivering custom-built iOS and Android applications to businesses of all kinds since 2012. Past applications include the Great Clips, Kwikly, and Green Mill apps that allow salon customers to check into salons, dental offices to find and hire temporary staff, and customers of a regional pizza chain to browse menus and place orders respectively, all from their mobile devices. Tim got his start in web development in the first grade and built the internet's most popular Ralph Wiggum fan page, the now-defunct That's Unpossible. When he isn't spending time with his family or training for another ultramarathon, he is most likely podcasting; he co-produces the C Tolle Run podcast with Olympian Carrie Tollefson and hosts his own show called Constant Variables.

“If you're looking to build an app, make sure that you're doing it for the right reasons… Make sure you're thinking about your end user and providing the best possible value for them, because that's going to make sure that your app is successful in the long run.” –Tim Bornholdt   Meet Tim Bornholdt, an entrepreneur, a podcaster, software developer and founder of the Jed Mahonis Group, a mobile app consultancy group. If you were wondering how this man came to know so much about so much, well, let him tell you his story.   Apps make our life a lot easier, thanks to the people we call geeks and nerds. But really, behind their genius is a heart for other people. They develop software for others to use after all. But to turn this passion into a business with a story to tell needs more than expertise on technical stuffs. Learn how you can do things simultaneously yet effectively. Of course, failures are inevitable. Listen to our guest as he shares his story about turning his failures to stepping-stones and learn how you can do the same. As his words quoted above implies, learn how to make applications that really works in the long run. On top of that, learn how podcasting can add a value to your business. Entrepreneurship can be demanding at times. So, here’s a spice for entrepreneurs out there: Tim’s story- learn to run your business in an exciting way.
