What's your sustainable competitive advantage?

Justin is interviewed by Nathan Baschez to talk about business
strategy:
"Every strategy is really just a theory: “We bet if we do x,
then y will happen. In business, the 'y' that people are usually
aiming for is some sort of sustainable competitive advantage." –
Nathan Baschez


This is a long episode, but it's a good one!


What made Jon and Justin feel like they had an advantage in
podcasting?

Original hypothesis: "Maybe we could be to podcasting, what
WPengine was to WordPress hosting. Or what Wistia was to video
hosting." How did that work out?

Nathan's take on the podcast industry from his experience
working for Gimlet.

When should you focus on a niche?
