Full Episode
You go down this path and you're not that type of person that's a developer. You don't have that tech background. I don't. I use a lot of tech, but I've never built the actual tech myself. I had someone on my podcast that I had a good relationship with. I was able to call that individual and really get the truth out of him and say, Hey, if I go down this path, what will it be like?
And he told me the harsh truth. And as I interviewed other brands showing me the cost to build OWL, I started to realize they're just giving me what I want to hear. Oh yeah, it'll cost a hundred, 200, $300,000 to build it. They didn't really tell you much after that, but the truth is after that, it's the same exact cost. My name is Jason Hill. I'm the founder of the Owl App.
This is CodeStory. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries. Who share what it takes to change an industry. Who built the teams that have their back. Keeping scalability top of mind. All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as we grow. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve, my dear.
Took it off the shelf and dusted it off and tried to begin. To ride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology. All this and more on Code Story. I'm your host, Noah Labpart. And today, how Jason Hill created a way for you to connect, learn, and grow. through private one-on-one audio calls. This episode is sponsored by KiteWorks.
