You are phenomenal interviewer. Not like these other podcasters / journalists that make it a point to interject their opinions. Awesome work and thank you both for taking the time to share all this great information as I am also a small startup founder. We currently use discord for our community and it is a wonderful product. Now I know why

[@Jay-q5g4p]

He really is. He asks some good and interesting questions.

[@alejandroabad-pablo7813]

Wow. What can I say but that you blew me away yet again Harry. These interviews somehow keep getting better and better. Absolutely astonished. Brilliant man , I love this channel

[@phil7326]

Another fantastic interview, and great guest. Thank you Harry 👊🏽

[@claudioperlini7577]

Another amazing story. Thanks Harry!

[@gerolori]

Never heard a more natural interviewer. Your questions were exactly the ones that were on the tip of my tongue. Very interesting, thanks for making this, keep it up

It was good to know this founder and his views also way of working as a founders and what challenges an founder has to navigate when building an company from scratch

[@joeingram1]

Very great episode

[@MihirSanjayYadav]

Been using Discord as a workplace; it does all the work-communication, video calls, code sharing, etc. I can't believe that all of it is just FREE.

Damn Harry, you always have guests that surprise me. Thank you for all these interviews

[@glader88]

Excellent guest! I just have a bit of feedback to Harry: Please don't interrupt the guest 🤫 Example: 24:00 - "I have this process of integrating them in, and the short version is..." "How do you you do that?" "...The short version is" Same thing at 27:07 or 32:50 where you interrupt him with questions that sound like it might have been answered naturally if you'd just let him speak. To me, having watched quite a few interviews on other KZbin channels lately, these things make the interview sound closer to an interrogation where you have a checklist of specific questions rather than a discussion, and I feel like I am missing out on things that Jason has to say that you might not have thought to ask. Watched until 39:50 but after that I just got too much anxiety listening to the constant interruptions, it really feels like you're just checking off boxes.

[@Kanstantsin-j6e]

Jason sounds like a very nice guy. Good luck with your product, I love it. Please think about to allow games developers to integrate your solution into their games to stop wasting time on “own” different solutions

[@PrasadPPillai]

Great questions by Harry and insightful answers, from real world experience.

GREAT EPISODE

[@mengersonchloepamela3098]

Nice interview 🙌🏻

[@Meierobin]

Let’s go 🙏

[@amakaokoroigwe1661]

Great one

[@wormholeinteractive]

On the question of changing the business model - per interaction. We're already seeing it with AI-powered apps out there. Per adventure, chapter, DLC...

[@mr_icyn]

Jason is great 💪🏾

[@Funothing]

Great interview!!!

[@dopndips2514]

Amazing

[@DarraghMcCarthy]

Strategy games shape future leaders more so than other games. They teach you the value of marginally more precise decision making and to exploit all available resources. You cannot "fake it" and get by on charisma. When you fail, there is nobody to blame but yourself, so it teaches ownership and self-sufficiency. I think perhaps most importantly, gaming cultivates an ambition that cannot be satisfied by living a normal life

[@exyl_sounds]

i love aoe2

[@Dead_Last]

are they making profit though? why do stocks only matter?

[@ytlarongpogijermil3149]

nice

[@arunsaini208]

Good

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

is discord even a success though? spending vc money to keep propping it up?

[@Dallas4090]

Definitely a success overall

[@jian-was-here]

you don't find 200 million monthly users impressive?

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

@@jian-was-here i mean as numbers sure.. but the only reason they are on it is because it is free.. so i fail to see the business case..

[@VaultCord]

Discord is not profitable no. Time will tell if they can become profit driven without destroying themselves

[@Oscarnnanna]

Why does the interviewer look high? 😂

[@Lucas_Asher]

How are 20 users product market fit? 7:30... Does he even know what PMF is?

[@alainportant6412]

stop being cocky you know what he meant

[@_crowbar9162]

Harry, all due respect, but you need to do something about your expressions while listening to your guests speak. You literally look high as a kite and you’re blinking NON STOP.

[@cheesetoochalk]

Lol! What!?🤣

[@FundiCrypto]

Lmao agreed

[@_crowbar9162]

@@cheesetoochalk What what? His eyes are squinted, mouth semi open, head tilted to one side. It looks weird as hell.

[@ISmashuu]

100% annoying

Maybe he is high...on the guests' knowledge and experience.

[@lightyagami6362]

Stay private like valve it works wonders for them

Bro it’s only a chat you built

[@stablecoinmaxi]

Put it into context--the main platform was Skype at a time, even for gamers. It pays to be early

[@alexgersa5323]

there's no skill here. it's just luck with the degeneracy of online virality. teamspeak, ventrilo, mumble, all of these voip were popular and used before discord. discord is just for the new voip of the new gen degenerates...

[@stablecoinmaxi]

If there was no skill, why didn't you build it first
