Listening to @nivo0o0 talk about Product Hunt from the Product Hunt iOS app. Meta.
Great interview and good example of how authenticity and long-term relationships can change your life.
From the PH daily podcast email: "Niv also talks about how he landed Jack Dorsey for a Product Hunt LIVE Chat with a single tweet that contained only Emojis. It's a great interview!"
Adding to my playlist now, @Nivo0o0. š
This is the seventy-eighth episode of Hack To Start.
Your hosts, Franco Varriano (on Twitter @FrancoVarriano) and Tyler Copeland (on Twitter @TylerCopeland), speak with Niv Dror (on Twitter @Nivo0o0 ), a part of the community team at Product Hunt, a place for product-loving enthusiasts to share and geek out about the latest mobile apps, websites, hardware projects, and tech creations. He was previously the first community manager at Meerkat.
Niv joins us to share his story, how he got involved in startups after completing his degree in accounting and getting a CPA, how to build communities, how to leverage your community for innovation, and much more!
I just finished listening to this. I didn't even know @Nivo0o0's full story - and it's so great. It can be really daunting to figure out how to enter the tech startup world and build relationships with the prominent figures or even get the startups you love to give you the time of day. I love how he was able to go from an accountant with no background, experience, or network to creating his own opportunities: from being the first community manager at @Meerkat, getting into @jason's @launch conference to tweet and stream for free, to meeting @sacca and @mazzeo, landing a job at @ProductHunt and landing Jack Dorsey for a PH LIVE Chat. It's just the beginning, but such an inspiring story of hustle with a lot of insight to be gleaned. Kudos buddy!
Amazing to hear you speak @Nivo0o0! Great episode, you shared some great insights. Wow, this reminds me how much I've got to look forward to in the future (when I actually grow up) :)
