Kalzumeus Podcast 5: Quitting Consulting Via Productization

It was interesting to follow Patrick's reports few years ago, when they were specific and factual, but attempts to extrapolate from that into a field of full-on startup mentoring and coaching looks rather strange to put it mildly.

I&#x27;m happy that the audio quality significantly improved from the first episode. But still Patrick is a lot quieter than Keith - which leads me to adjust volume constantly.<p>I don&#x27;t know your setup, but maybe use a multi-track recording software and then adjust each speaker&#x27;s track to match volume.

I&#x27;m a little leery anytime someone goes from doing &#x27;Activity A&#x27; to no longer doing &#x27;Activity A&#x27; and instead teaching people how to do it.<p>I don&#x27;t know Patrick personally, so I won&#x27;t denigrate him for this approach, but I find this conversation quite disheartening.

Gee, thanks Patrick. You know, I used to listen to speculative fiction podcasts on my commute: Escape Pod for scifi, Podcastle for fantasy, maybe some Drabblecast or even video game podcasts...<p>Now all I listen to is small business&#x2F;bootstrapping casts! Kalzumeus, Product People, Techzing, Foolish Adventure, Eventual Millionaire, I have a whole backlog of this stuff!<p>Will you guys knock it off with this excellent &amp; actionable content, so I can listen to some fiction again?? Geez!

I&#x27;m not much rails but why can&#x27;t you upgrade to a more recent version instead of having he 10k patch agreement?

And already transcribed, awesome.
