Liz and her husband Lukas met while volunteering in New York after Hurricane Sandy hit.
Lukas is a developer and had always dreamed of working for himself, and Liz was ready for a career pivot after working in humanitarian relief for over a decade.
One day, while at an industry event, Lukas was struck by the fact that the producer had to keep running back and forth between the stage and the control room to start a timer so that the presenter knew how much time they had left.
After asking around, Lukas was shocked to learn that there was no way to remotely control the starting or stopping of a stage timer.
Tune in to hear Liz's recounting of the story behind how this moment of inspiration led him to start building Stage Timer and how the couple decided to quite their day jobs to go all in on transforming Stage Timer into a proper business.
About the Show
Zero to (point) One is hosted by yours truly, Zach Busekrus (@zboozee).
I’m an entrepreneur in residence at a marketing firm by day and building my own start up Sponstayneous by night.
Sponstayneous brings subscribers the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on Airbnb. My wife and I co-founded the company while living full-time on Airbnb last year.
There’s a lot of podcasts out there that feature entrepreneurs:
- once they’ve gone public
- once they’ve had an exit
- or even once they’ve made their first million.
But not as many that feature the first-time Product Hunt launchers, the Indie Hacker that has yet to go viral on Twitter, or the micro influencer who wants to build their first niche product.
And there’s where this show comes in.
Zero to (point) One features a collection of ideas that may go nowhere, or just might change the world, from people you've never heard of, who may just become household names.
A nod to tech founder Peter Thiel's Zero to One framework, Zero to (point) One explores the beginnings of (very) early-stage creators and entrepreneurs whose first chapters are still being written.
Each guest featured on the show has MRR of $500 - $10k (no more and no less) or has 10k - 100k followers on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter.
Come and meet the next generation of builders wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning.
