Hi guys and gals! Sorry about disappearing for a hot second, right after we launched our beta… Yeah so about that, as they say here in Los Angeles, we got axed. Well I guess they say that everywhere, but you get the point. In this week’s episode we dig in to the reason we’ve been gone and how we almost became reality tv famous. True story. Unfortunately for us, this unfortunate turn of events...

I talk to Harry Stebbings, the host of The Twenty Minute VC, about podcasting, venture capital, and how he got here at such an early age. We also announce our private beta app is ready for iOS and Android. Send us an email at hi@nexcast.co to get an invite.

We see what happened in the lost weeks without a mobile developer and check in with our new pal Taku. We used to be moving like a glacier, but now we’re on train full speed ahead to beta town.

I blow in a call to my friend who made a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank to get some advice on how to sort this equity split out. Then it was time to have the dreaded follow up with Troy. We then have some catastrophic news that we somehow take in stride.

Splitting up something that’s currently worth nothing has never been harder. We take some advice from a Stanford class called How to Start a Startup on how to best divide ownership of our company that currently has no real value. The potential of it being worth millions causes a lot of debate. It seems like Farhan doesn’t think Troy should have equal ownership because he doesn’t know exactly...

We have to make a couple big decisions as things start falling into place for our team. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback on bringing discussion threads into our app, a feature that we have been planning all along. Engaging with podcasts hosts and other listeners seems great - we just have to fend off the trolls. Check out the site at http://BuildingNexcast.com Get early access to the...

Our journey thus far has been full of surprises, but this we couldn’t make up if we tried. In this week’s episode we find ourselves on the other end of the negotiating table with a gang of teenaged gamers from the Philippines. They’ve got our Twitter handle, we need to convince them to give it to us. We get advice from someone who has been in this situation before, but these teen gamers won’t...

Not quite as easy as finding a date - we explore the CTO matching services available to non-technical guys like us. We get swindled, have a few laughs, and surprise, surprise, discover that the dating app comparison isn't too far off. Will we ever get lucky again? Tune in to find out...

We’re taking a hot second to try something new. As you may recall, Part 1 of this epic journey got started in Silicon Valley, where Brian pitched the company for the first time ever at Blab. There were both highs and lows, good points and not so good points, but we ultimately decided to highlight the rough parts of that experience to showcase the realities of pitching a startup. You know, to...
