Accounted For

Join in for a conversation with Justin Jackson, Co-Founder of Transistor.fm. It’s a podcast hosting service and full disclosure, Accounted For is hosted on Transistor. I learned about the company and Justin because Basecamp’s podcast is hosted on Transistor and I further learned how Justin bootstrapped Transistor 2 years ago to a company that generated monthly recurring revenue exceeding $50,000. Justin didn’t start out in tech or podcasts but working for a not-for-profit for the first 7 years of his career. In our chat we dive into Justin’s decision into switch into tech at 28, navigating a career to product management in tech startups, starting his first company, building a community with podcasts and his journey with building a successfully bootstrapped SaaS company.

What is Accounted For?

Everyone walks a unique career journey. No matter how "linear" it may look in their LinkedIn profile, it is never that simple. Most people that have careers you aspire to have had to struggle. They had their own obstacles and made their own luck. Some careers you dream about may not even be what you assumed it would be. All assumptions should be tested and that is what I seek to do in this podcast. Follow along as I interview people on what they actually do in their careers and why they made the jumps in their careers, some quite unorthodox.
