In 2018 I co-founded @TransistorFM with Jon Buda.
A big part of our motivation was to build a better product for podcasters.
But from the beginning we were clear: we wanted the business to give *us* a better life.
More freedom
More calm
And yes, more dough

Also, yes: lol, what does “best founders” even mean?

I know a bunch of incredible entrepreneurs whose original motivation was to “pay for diapers, day care, healthcare” for their kids. In my books, that makes them “the best founders.”

If tech bro founders are really “not doing it for the money” how come none of them want to pay more taxes?Pokaż ten wątek -
Anyway,

How long did it take you until you made more money than your previous job?

I made more my first year, but it wasn’t until Transistor that I was financially comfortable.

Father of 4 here.
As an employee, I struggled to make ends meet for years.
I quit my job in 2014, and started my own company.
Since then, I’ve consistently made more money as a founder than an employee.
A big part of my entrepreneurial motivation *is* money.
