What's it really like to work at Transistor?

This podcast is hosted by transistor dot f m. Hey, everyone. Welcome to Build Your SaaS. This is the behind the scenes story of building a web app in 2022. I'm John Buda, a software engineer. I'm Justin Jackson, and I do marketing. I'm Helen, and I do customer success. Jason, also a software engineer. We got the whole band together. We do. John, this is the this is the most people we've had in our recording, closet. It is. We'll see how this works. It's pretty it's pretty tight in here.
