Finally, Rob and Mike were getting too high on their pedestal.
Finally! Now the show will actually be worth listening to… (And I haven’t listened to this episode yet). This is so refreshing, and this is a much needed change.
I was getting so tired of hearing “we are building this SAAS app, we are building that SAAS app.
If I wanted to hear about SAAS apps so much, I would have subscribed to a SAAS app podcast.
Question? Will you also be taking over their Twitter accounts? Or should I just quit following them?
Thanks.

I was so happy to hear about this change. I just got done listening to the latest episode, and all I can say is… By far, this is the best episode ever!
There was finally some useful information and content that was worth my time.
Side note… I hope you guys did not pay more than just a couple hundred bucks for this podcast, as you may find it to be a mistake. From what I have heard, there has been a lot of damage caused by previous podcast episodes. I know they were also having a hard time retaining their listeners… I am guessing it was because of their personalities.
Assuming you are also taking over the Micropreneur Academy, I now finally have a reason to join.
Keep up the great job!
Could people please elaborate on the “damage done by previous podcast episodes” and “their personalities”?
Honestly intrigued as I didn’t notice anything wrong with the podcast, but only listened to some of them.
Hint: check the date.

Where can I get examples of your SODs?
Excellent info.
Yes, the inevitable April Fools Day episode. Hope everyone enjoyed it!
I don’t normally check the dates of podcasts. After listening to the first 10 mins of the show on the 2nd I decided the new show format wasn’t for me and unsubscribed.
I only came to the site today to see if I’d missed an episode explaining there’d be new hosts next week.
Glad I did. Obviously love the show’s old format and glad you guys will be back next week.
Also time zones don’t help. It’s the 3rd April here.
But I guess with the Internet you should be on guard for at least the first half of April.
Mike,
Ha. That was great… I loved it. I was over at the Lifestyle Business Podcast website blasting them too. I posted the same messages in both places.
I like things just the way they are… Don’t change a thing!
