Startup Stories - Mixergy - A podcast by Andrew Warner - Fridays

This interview covers how Jason Fried’s company created Hey.com without user feedback, and why he says he’ll never give Apple a cut of its sales….even if Apple follows through on a threat to boot its iPhone app.

Jason Fried is the founder of Basecamp project management software and author of multiple business books, including Remote. His latest creation is Hey, an email account that reduces clutter and increases privacy.
