A founder interview show · from ship to sale

$1 MRR

Conversations with founders at the first dollar of recurring revenue — the night the Stripe ping finally fires. No $1k‑MRR flexes. Ship, sale, and everything in between.

10–15 min · async · you record on your phone, we mix and publish

01 — the format

How it works

01

Apply

Two minutes, one form, no scheduling. Tell us what you shipped and where it's at.

02

Record on your phone

You get a spOken record link — a voice form, no account needed. Seven questions, answered out loud, wherever your audio sounds best. Most guests do it in one sitting.

03

We mix and publish

Your host mixes sound for a living. Phone audio comes out sounding intentional, and your episode ships with links to your product.

02 — why bother

What's in it for you

Market it, in your own voice

Say what your product is, who it's for, and why you built it — without compressing it into 280 characters. Every episode links back to your site.

Be a person, not a landing page

You share a highlight and a lowlight. The almost-quit story is the part people remember — and the reason they root for you.

A shareable, searchable episode

A clean episode page with your name and your product on it. Post it on launch day, drop it in your footer, send it to your mom.

03 — what you'll record

The seven questions

Locked — every founder answers the same seven. Read them now, think in the shower, record when you're ready.

  1. 01

    Origin

    Who are you, and what were you doing before you shipped this?

  2. 02

    The product

    One line: what is it, and who's it for?

  3. 03

    The first dollar

    Tell the story of the ping. Where were you when the first $1 of recurring revenue landed?

  4. 04

    The highlight

    The best moment since you shipped.

  5. 05

    The lowlight

    The almost-quit moment. What kept you going?

  6. 06

    The metric

    The one number you actually check every day.

  7. 07

    The ask

    Everyone's listening for ten more seconds. What do you want from them?

04 — the host

About the show

$1 MRR is made by Tyler Faison, a location sound mixer in Dallas–Fort Worth. Days on set making people sound good; nights building SetSync Central — which means he's chasing the same first ping you are. Every episode is mixed by hand, and no, your phone audio won't embarrass you.

The show is async on purpose. Founders at the first dollar rarely have a free hour on a Tuesday — but everyone has fifteen minutes of talking to themselves in the car.

05 — your turn

Be a guest

Shipped something? Heard the ping — or about to? Tell us the basics and we'll send your record link.

No spam, no newsletter — the only email you'll get is about your episode.
