Nathan Baschez (Product Hunt, Gimlet
Media) is one of the most prolific people I know, having worked at
half a dozen of the coolest startups I can think of, all in just
the past ten years.
I first met Nathan back in 2012 while we were working at
General Assembly in New York City. At the
time General Assembly had just acquired Nathan's startup Dash — an early learn to code app much
like Codecademy.
Since then Nathan has gone on to co-create Product Hunt, launch HardBound (a visual
storytelling app), as well as dedicate his talents to Gimlet Media and Substack.
In my chat with Nathan we discuss:
How to design a career
Strategies for choosing projects
Behind the scenes of early days at General Assembly, and
Product Hunt
What it's like to work at Gimlet Media (home to the Reply All
Podcast, Startup, and the CrimeTown Podcast)
Tips for staying focused when learning to code for the first
time
