David’s comment on profit being the driver of market share, rather than vice versa is excellent.
However, Jason’s response that it’s related to where you are in your career (or the stage of the company), is very important.

This was a really strong episode.

Second time watching this and Jason make's me cringe so much with his undermining comments.I have to give it to him for straight talking his thoughts but fuck he doesnt need to undermine David's views like he does.
I mean sure, question his motives and reasons but don't be so condesending with it.

Funny stuff, bloody brilliant interview!

David makes a great point for organic growth. Although, something should be said about scaling to a massive level before monetizing – and the insight that I imagine comes when you have some experienced VCs on the team.

Yin Yang – I'm new to the game and I'm right on with David on this one; but I cant rule out what Jason is saying.

I also don't know a thing compared to these guys experiences – great dialog, excellent show!

Kudos for Jason & Tyler for having a guest who preaches against going to VCs (sort of). I just ordered Rework.

BTW, I find the session notes to be incredibly helpful, especially when the shows go on for a couple of hours. Please try to keep/beef them up!

It is not how much hours you are working it is how effective you are working and to live a happy life. why do you work? to be happy and to feed the people you love.

different people have different values. :-)

Good episode and interview but David seemed like the grade school kid who just learned swear words and had to find a way to bring them into the chat as much as possible to seem like a bad-ass. You’d think he’d have more confidence by now given his success without seeming so insecure. He had a lot of great comments that were undermined by his potty mouth.

What a great episode…definitely top 5! I really appreciate David’s approach toward not having to be the end-all, be all for everyone. Focusing on core features and core values is very important and I really like David’s approach toward business.

Hi Folks, the RSS audio only feed on itunes should be up and running soon. We had a small set back when switching over. Also, we are checking into why our new faster downloads don’t seem to get beyond itunes and onto your iphones/ipods etc. Please contact me if you have any problems/questions emily@mahalo.com

Great episode again. The pace was really good, obviously bc of the two great minds discussing ideas. Not events, not people.

@jason & crew – don’t worry about the length, of +2hrs. I really can enjoy 2.5hrs when the discussion has some detail and explanation and viewpoints (why so and so is coming to this conclusion) are made clear.

Cheers,
MJ

Great episode. David “bottom line” approach is different from the others.
Today, Apple has a really similar approach and therefore a lot of cash that is not being spent on over-priced acquisitions (like Google-s YouTube, Microsoft’s Hotmail,…etc).

This episode could have lasted for five hours or more :). Truly awesome and absolutely one of the best episodes yet for sure.

It’s great to see two great entrepreneurs discussing their philosophies with none of them backing down as both of them are successful, so both concepts are valid.

David really needs to come back for another episode.

I don’t know what’s going on with the formatting but my iphone wouldn’t play the show #46 it said because of a format problem. I don’t know if other people are having the same problem. I have too slow a connection to play it on-line shame! I will have to do without. It’s the second show to have that problem, thought I’d let you guys know.
