Jon is away, so Justin is tackling these questions:

• "When you were early on and desperate, were you tempted to take investor money?"
• "How do you position yourself in a crowded market? What's your marketing plan look like?"
• "How do you prioritize feature development? Are new features coming from customer feedback, intuition, or some combination of both?"
• "Are you planning on experimenting with paid acquisition channels?"
• "How can I get a job at Transistor.fm?"
