[00:01:25] Kalen: We’re finally in a good, uh, 2 36. So episode 2 36. So the last one was bringing amnesty into the fold 2 35 and [00:01:36] Willem: we’re finally episodes 236. [00:01:40] Kalen: 2 36. We’re getting into a pretty, pretty steady schedule here. I think this is, uh, you know, we, we said, Hey, let’s, let’s, uh, let’s test the waters with this whole idea of rebooting ma talk. And, um, you don’t know until, you know, but I think [00:02:00] it seems it’s happening. It seems this is actually happening. So I have a question to, um, yes, [00:02:10] Willem: Asher almost at episode 240. Yes. Just four to go. How do you feel about the fact that people have spent 10 days of their lives listening to you? That’s crazy on me. Talk. [00:02:30] Kalen: That’s pretty nuts, man. Whenever you take a step back and think about the aggregate, uh, stuff, it blows your mind cuz. That’s kind of the cool thing about podcasts is that you don’t really, you’re not really conscious of the aggregate when you’re doing it. You’re just kind of chatting with a buddy. That’s, what’s so beautiful about it. But then when you think about it, like, I remember hearing Joe Rogan talk about that as if I know anything about what it’s like to be that famous, but, [00:03:00] um, same dynamic, different scale. But like when he realized he had this massive audience, it was like a huge surprise, but, um, [00:03:12] Willem: just, uh, two more, no, four more days. And then we have magenta New York and you’ll feel you’ll reconnect, [00:03:24] Kalen: feel the vibes I’m already at your [00:03:26] Willem: field of vibes and [00:03:28] Kalen: yeah, I’ve been feeling the vibes, man. I’ve been feeling the online vibes and, um, But it’s always better in person. It’s always, there’s something it’s always magical in person, [00:03:42] Willem: you know? Yeah. I was so happy that events were back earlier this year. Yeah. [00:03:46] Kalen: Yeah. Um, yeah, man, I’m finally ready to talk about the new thing I tweeted about it this morning. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah, the, [00:04:00] the new business, the community. [00:04:04] Willem: Um, let me life check what this new, the tweet was you have, because obviously, I don’t know. I don’t know anything about you’ve this new thing [00:04:12] Kalen: yet. Yeah. You’ve been busy working. how screwed up would it be if there was, uh, I won’t, I won’t even mention it. Um, so , if there was a certain version, um, so, [00:04:28] Willem: uh, I made a thing as what you tweeted and it’s Mitch chat.club, Mitch private community. That’s. Tell me about your new, um, board Mitch yacht club. Yes, [00:04:43] Kalen: honestly, that was a really good name that you posted. I like that a lot. Um, so so, um, so this is a slack that I created seven years ago. Uh, that was initially just, um, [00:05:00] You know, I was wanting to just, you know, have a place to chat with other, uh, magenta developers, doing stuff. It got up to five, 600 users. And, um, I was real active with it, uh, for, for years. And there was a bunch of people in there, you know, a lot of the, you know, a lot of the, you know, um, big names, as you would say. I see it feels so douchy to say that, but, um, but anyways, it, it was, it was a cool little thing. And then, um, the last couple years I kind of ghosted from it as I sort of generally pulled back a lot from the community and, um, mm-hmm and so, but there was this like skeleton and, and I’d always thought about turning it into a paid community because there’s just lots. Cool stuff you could do, but I didn’t really have a, a real reason to do that until now when I decided to ramp down commerce hero and I was like, okay, I gotta find something to do. I gotta start making a living. I gotta [00:06:00] find a, a, a way to replace the, in my income and things like that. And so it was this thing. It was this thread that I’d been thinking about for years and, um, had been building community for years is just a little free...
