What Outcome Would Make Mubs Happy

From the episode: Special interview with Mubashar Iqbal, Product Hunt Make of the Year for 2016 and founder of Pod Hunt, WILL ROBOTS TAKE MY JOB, plus 80 other projects.

Mubs says he has pretty low expectations for the outcomes of his project. He does not have VC funding, nor does it really cost him anything outside of his time. He does not have much to lose, only the upside to gain.

PodHunt feels like a long-term project, given how much the industry is growing. At the same time, he cannot predict where it goes, so it makes sense to keep making stuff and following along, and to catch the waves as it comes.

[editor's note:] Mubs shared this after we ended recording: WillRobotsTakeMyJob was a cool weekend project he created with a friend, which got millions of visitors, got him coverage on Lifehacker, Fortune, Mashable and many more. They eventually sold that property to a new lucky owner. So much for a weekend project ;)
