It’s our first shot at podcasting and we’re talking about “Rework” by 37Signals Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson.
Niki was really good with calling out the page numbers on quotes she referenced, but not-so-much for me, so here are all the quotations we pulled and their page numbers for you…
(271) “What doesn’t last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.”
(69) “You’re better with a kick ass half than a half-assed
(153) “If I’d listened to customers, I’d have given them a faster horse.” - Henry Ford
(23) “Small is not just a stepping stone. Small is a great destination in itself.”
(265) “There are 4 letter words you should never use in business. [need, can’t easy, fast.]”
(193) “Marketing isn’t just a few individual events. It’s the sum total of everything you do.”
Some other stuff we mentioned that you may want into on, the awesome illustrations in this book were done by Mike Rohde, check out all of the drawings from the book on Flickr.
Something I can already see I want to strive for next time — let’s try and say like less than 800 times!

I asked for and got “Rework” for Christmas and finished it in 2 days! Thanks for the recommendation - you gave a great review!!
awesome! That’s a great gift - yr gonna enjoy it! :)
thank you, everyone! :)
Fabulous! Looking forward to upcoming books and reviews. This is a beneficial way to network with other designers in addition to becoming a better designer, and business owner. Thanks Liz & Niki!
Reading this one now. Page 65 after the first session and I dig it. You’re right, very “tweet-style” writing — which I love. Definitely a great resource for laying out and starting up light-weight business.
Nice first episode! I’ll definitely get the book through your link and I’m looking forward to the next one!
Keep it up!
Ciao
