This is my 2022 year in review. I've been writing these every year since 2013. Traditionally, these have focused on my business highlights: what's happening with the podcasting SaaS I run with Jon Buda (Transistor.fm), thoughts on bootstrapping and startups, plus any other personal experiences I feel I can share publicly.If you'd prefer to read the blog post version, you can find it here:https://justinjackson.ca/2022-reviewWhat happened in 2022 for Transistor.fmWith a team of four people, we were able to launch a lot more features than in previous years.

When looking at past mistakes, the positive action is to ask: "What did I learn?"But when we're looking towards the future, we want to be mindful of the kinds of risks we're taking.When you commit to the wrong thing, you risk burning out or getting crushed.Watch the whole interview on Sharath Kuruganty's channel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M-XsuHVxXMListen to the podcast:https://undefeatedunderdogs.com/6
