This week, Justin is joined by Michele Hansen (co-founder of Geocodio). We explore a bunch of questions:

- 6:30 – where Michele and Mathias found the idea for their company
- 7:00 – when you have kids you need diapers at 1am
- Why people start companies
- 7:55 – how getting pregnant motivated them to build a product
- 10:15 – Matthias initially built a really basic geocoder for their purposes
- 11:30 – a lot of bootstrappers get motivated to start a business after they have their first kid
- Tyler Tringas: "Building, Owning (& possibly Selling) a profitable remote SaaS business is the new American Dream."
- 13:20 – "we were so surprised that people wanted to pay us."
