We have some explaining to do

Jon and Justin are back from Portland and the XOXO festival.


In the last few weeks we've had a chance to interact with many of
our customers in-person:


Nate Smoyer – "I’ve been using the podcast as a prospecting
tool. Signed one dreams client two weeks ago. Interviewed with
one yesterday. Got invited to lead a panel and live podcast for
an industry event."

Kyle Marshall – Kyle's creating multiple shows for MediaLab
in Calgary.

Matt Cassinelli and Alex Cox have a new podcast called
Supercomputer.

Jaime Macías has a great show called Open Tabs.
