Tom and Dan had one of the most successful Kickstarters of 2010 when they released the Glif. But was that enough to launch full-time careers as product makers?

In this episode, they delve into how they started Studio Neat (their company) and give tons of practical tips for building physical products, and doing crowdfunding campaigns.

Note from Justin

I'm launching a brand new book tomorrow (Feb 10th, 2016): Marketing for Product People.

When I wrote Marketing for Developers a lot of non-engineers asked if I could re-write the book for them. So I did! If you're planning on launching a product in 2016, this is a great starting point. Get a free chapter here.

I also have a new podcast! It's called MegaMaker. Each episode is only 10-13 minutes long, and there's a new "maker mission" every week. You can listen + subscribe + review in iTunes.

Cheers,
Justin Jackson
