Just finished the Marc Lizoain interview. Great stuff. Thanks for putting this together.
Spencer Fry
@jscheel Thanks, Jared. What did you like most about the interview and the format? Would love feedback for doing future interviews.
Jared Scheel
@spencerfry Hmm, I will have to think about that. The whole interview felt very natural. It may just be that Marc is a gifted communicator. I like that you allowed him to tell his story, instead of leading him down a line of questioning. I think it would be good to have an appendix with screenshots of the projects. May be hard for dead ones, but it could be nice to see.
Spencer Fry
@jscheel Thanks, Jared. That's valuable information. I like your idea of including an appendix of screenshots. I think that sounds like a good v1.5 edition. :)

Happy to answer any questions or hear any feedback.

@spencerfry Will you be focusing on really tough questions for your interviewees? Oftentimes the most interesting topics for the audience are the most sensitive for the storyteller, especially when it comes to people who aren't yet at the "success" stage. Curious as to how you might balance that.
Spencer Fry
@brianmwang The goal is to ask tough questions, but in a comfortable setting. From the start, I want to do interviews differently. Interviews on STP are entirely focused around the details of product development and product design. Any story we include about the company is as far from PR as you can get and actually touches on the interesting, the unknown, and the real behind-the-scenes stuff, like the interview I did with Marc Lizoain in which he opens up his heart about shutting down his company Urtak after five years and having raised $500,000.

@spencerfry I think a lot can be learned from this kind of story, kudos for surfacing them. I feel like the most value I can offer product builders, especially in the space my failed startup was, is insight into the mistakes we made.
