My Take On My Blogs Ten Most Popular Post List

I am patiently waiting for the day my post Titled: 5 Days On Whisper, gets knocked out of the number one spot of my blog. Not because I have any ill feelings towards Whisper App. It's because It's been there too long! I'm sick of it being number one. Surely I can take down any of them if I wanted to. Yet I don't pick the spots readers do. I have to honor this sacred ground.


Here Is The Number Of Views And My Take On My Top Ten Post



  1. 5 Days On Whisper.....1260 views. Almost all the hits to this post came from China. It got pounded from the entire country of China for a long time. I suspect the reason for this was that Whisper had hired a woman (who was famous in China) to work for them. I think she was and maybe still is in charge of getting traction. All she had to do was reach out to her China fans and ask, and they did it. I suppose it helped Whisper to grow, and maybe it still does. Maybe someday WhisperApp will help me out? I'm not famous in China, but I did adopt a beautiful girl from China. You Might like, Beautiful Tech Girl Growing Up which has 294 views.
  2. An Entrepreneurs Timeline To Success: 784 views. ThankYou for liking this post so much! It means the world to me. 
  3. The Dream Continues To Torment: 551 views. I was pretty down when I wrote this post. It's kinda weird I think. I think it came from those dark places in my brain. 
  4. The New Frontier Of Suicide: 522 views. Woah Kind of intense. You also might like Invisible Suicide: The Tortured Soul: 168 views
  5. An Entrepreneurs Beautiful Love Story:483 views. Incredible sad time. Still miss my brother-in-law and fellow trep. Sara is doing great raising Ariele. She is the best mom.(This post should be #6 and #6 should be #5) As this has less views. Must be a bug in the blogger software.
  6. The Yellow Book Of Skills To Get Traction: 503 views. Whew! So happy this is on the list. This is the first printing and I see Gabriel and Justin changed the cover and maybe some of the book. I'm so grateful they wrote it. I told Tom and Sean that if I joined Kazamster I would  be using this book. I did and we are. It's literally a blueprint for how to grow your startup.
  7. Startup Porn: 419 views. Another amazing book for startup builders Venture Deals. I have no idea why I named the post startup porn. I took the class that goes with the book. Super hard and very cool class.
  8. My Funny Dream About Gary Vaynerchuk: 406 views. This is a true story. I did dream this. I also met Mr. Vaynerchuk on WhisperApp. Yep, you think you are all anonymous, and there was some glitch in the software, and I found out who I was talking to. I had put a Whisper post out asking for investors, for my idea, I didn't even have a product! I had no traction! I had no idea what I was talking about,but Mr. Vaynerchuk was very kind to me and told me that I had balls! I took that as a compliment. I am confident the next time I ask him to be an investor, I'll know what I'm talking about, and I will have traction! 
  9. 87 Edits and Counting On My Y Combinator Application: 399 views. Ah yes, I think this was my second time applying for the YC. It's a good experience to apply to accelerators, you'll learn a ton and yes, practice being disappointed perhaps. Who knows you might get in.
  10. Nothing Better Than Working On A Startup That Has Something To Do With Music.283 views. Hallelujah! This is a record. I have never had a post get on the top ten list in such a short time. Seven days! I'm shocked, especially since the title is super long.

Nothing Better Than Working On A Startup That Has Something To Do With Music : - )



Here I am helping to build a fresh new startup, and feeling so grateful to Tom Wilson and Sean Weas for choosing me to help them build Kazamster. 

It's this beautiful software startup that lets you bring your playlist with you to any streaming service of your choice.
Okay it's in Beta, so it only has the option to convert Spotify to Google Play Music right now. But hey, 500 users have logged in since the launch just four months ago. It's pretty clear to me that Tom and Sean have built something people want. 

Playlist are so very personal to us users. We build them with mounds of passion, creativity, and love. Of course the streaming service's would like you to stay with them forever, but like any free enterprise system us users have choices. Maybe we want to switch over to another service for whatever reason. It's not like we're saying we don't like the one we're in,we just want to swim in the music waters of another streaming service, and we want to bring our playlist with us. 

I can't say what the streaming services are thinking, but surely they don't want to let users take their playlist with them, it's one of the main things that keeps users locked into their service. I don't blame them one bit, it's business. Keeping customers is doing good business. Yet, disruption was bound to happen. 

For me, besides all the cool things I'm learning and doing to help Kazamster, I'm listening to a ton of music! This is so good for me, as sometimes, as an adult, I get caught up into all work, and forget how to have fun. 

From what I've been reading I can say the Playlist is going to have a giant impact on all of our futures. It's going to turn into something amazing, and you and I are apart of that. In fact you've been creating it. You've been helping to shape it. 

Update: As of 10/18/16 This startup is running itself. It's still up, but Tom and Sean have joined a marijuana startup called GrowFlow, which looks intensely exciting to me. I don't know what to do. I can't run Kazamster by myself. I looked into buying it, but still that would leave me alone searching for a developer. I'm working on learning code and Salesforce. Two things I can do for free and on my own time. 

Keep building your startups ~
