Random note: Has anyone noticed how fast the author's webpage is? I know it's static, but I mean it's fast even for the DNS lookup. I would love to know what they have on.

Just a reminder that a larger portion of today's market value is made up from Tech stocks. Tech stocks are typically higher valuations and P/E multiples, giving a skewed data point perspective vs. 20 years ago.

I will be using this, and dropping a lot of my paid AirTable bases...and let me please explain why.

Airtable makes it VERY hard to collaborate with people outside my organization. We are a team of 7 people. No longer a scrappy 1-person startup, but not an enterprise client by any-means.

If I want to add a single person to an Airtable base, that's $24 a month please. I have one client with 12 people that want to collaborate on the base by posting comments. I can't justify $288 a month just to keep the comments for all time.I contacted Airtable about this and was told the "Enterprise Plan" would be a perfect fit. Minimum $15k a year commitment.

Why is this happening in the SasS world??? Everyone seems to be either single Pro user, or Enterprise. Do they really think there is nothing in-between?

I am forced to use the ISPs in my area due to only 1 or 2 alternatives. This is not the case with online communication.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think this is the exact advice that everyone needs right now. The young and the old.

I try to re-watch this once a year. Always puts things in perspective for me.

I'm very excited to see this space heating up. It seems for years we defaulted to using Google Analytics and no one wanted in the market. Now there are plenty alternatives, with many of them open source.

Does anyone else find it frustrating when people talk about not working too hard and already having enough, after they have become wealthy?
