Great show! I liked the juxtoposition of asking the guest (Ken) about both the traditional rails and the startup he's building.Hope to see more of this pattern on your show. ☆☆☆ Idea: If you hint about or tell us who are future guests, we commenters, could supply questions. You could drop sats, to us, for helpful/rich/context-aware near-term planned shows! We could help make the show better #V4V.

Best way to learn about a product is by listening a podcast interview with the founder. You ask meaningful questions.
