- 2:26Danny, what's going on? Thank you so much for coming to
- 2:28the show. Thank you again for having me.
- 2:31Absolutely. My pleasure.
- 2:33Now, I want to start this off with a little bit of an intro.
- 2:36You know, people say you should never meet your heroes, and I
- 2:39think that's probably true. But in this case, I've gotten to
- 2:42know Danny over the last year or so and I think it's been
- 2:45extraordinary. And I want to explain to the
- 2:47listeners why Danny is my hero. One reason everything Danny does
- 2:52is amazing. He's got all these cool
- 2:53projects, but 2, Danny's a a son of Denver like me, and he jumped
- 2:58onto my radar because he saved a couple of like iconic Denver
- 3:02buildings that mean a lot to me personally.
- 3:06You know, 1 is my Brother's bar, which is Denver's oldest
- 3:09functioning bar, and also is Ground Zero of the beat
- 3:13movement, which means it's Ground Zero of the hippie
- 3:16movement, which means without My Brother's bar, you might not
- 3:19have the Grateful Dead or Jimi Hendrix or these kind of people.
- 3:23You might not have it. Danny stepped in and saved that
- 3:26place and I love it. The burgers are amazing.
- 3:28Also another place that's near and dear to my heart, which is
- 3:30the Mercury Cafe here in Denver, largely because that's where I
- 3:35was able to woo my wife. And we've been married for 20
- 3:38years. And, and these are the things I
- 3:40have to always give Danny his flowers and embarrass him.
- 3:43Every time I have a microphone, I'm in front of him just because
- 3:46I am so grateful for you doing those things.
- 3:48So, Danny, it, it's been a pleasure to get to know you a
- 3:51little bit. Thank you.
- 3:52And yeah, probably embarrassed over here.
- 3:54Thank you. But we're not talking about
- 3:57that. We are going to talk about a lot
- 3:59of your projects though. I want to start with kind of how
- 4:02we met, which was I got this kind of clandestined e-mail
- 4:06through through LinkedIn from a gal that I'd worked with.
- 4:11She had a promotions company in Atlanta, was doing big hip hop
- 4:14shows. This is years ago.
- 4:15And she was like, hey, you need to check this out.
- 4:17And it was a vibe code meet up here in Denver.
- 4:21And so I I joined it and I was like, Oh my God, that's Danny
- 4:24Newman. This is his group.
- 4:26It's so cool. So in that time, you know, this
- 4:28is a bi weekly now it's a weekly meet up for people that are just
- 4:32interesting in vibe coding. Now, vibe coding has only been a
- 4:35thing for maybe 12 months, you know, but, but sort of think
- 4:40back in like March or April, whenever that was, seems like
- 4:43absolute ancient history. So give us an introduction to
- 4:47kind of this meet up and that the momentum it's building here
- 4:50in Denver. Yeah, absolutely.
- 4:53So about a year ago, Thanksgiving of 2024, I kind of
- 4:59jumped in to code up some projects that I've been been
- 5:04wanting to and thinking about for a while.
- 5:06And I was playing with cursor, you know, kind of a vibe coding,
- 5:11no code, low code tool and was really excited that I was able
- 5:15to crank out an iPhone app in over the weekend of Thanksgiving
- 5:20last year and the rest of 2024. I just kept running into people
- 5:25who were playing with all of these awesome tools, all of the
- 5:28things like cursor, like replit things along those lines.
- 5:32And I think the name vibe coding came to be in, I don't know,
- 5:38January, February, maybe even March of, of, of this year of
- 5:422025. And immediately was like, OK,
- 5:45let's let's, let's vibe. We got to we got to bring all
- 5:49these people together. So yeah, February of, of this
- 5:52year launched our bi weekly meet up and has been absolutely
- 5:57amazing. Just the best people, the best
- 6:00connections and just amazing progress to see how far people
- 6:05can go with these tools and how quick.
- 6:08It's just been been fantastic to watch and our community grew
- 6:12from, you know, just I don't know, 20-30 of us at the
- 6:16original meetups to over 300 now that that come and join with
- 6:22about, I don't know, 50 or so joining each each week.
- 6:26Yeah, it's so cool to give people kind of an orientation.
- 6:29You know, you show up, it's five to seven on Wednesdays.
- 6:32You know, everyone kind of gives an announcement of what they're
- 6:34working on, what they see is cool.
- 6:36And then we go straight to demos and people are just giving demos
- 6:39of what they're working on, getting feedback, positive,
- 6:42negative. I'd say largely it's
- 6:44overwhelmingly positive. And the, the kind of diverse
- 6:48backgrounds of everybody at this meet up makes it kind of
- 6:50extraordinary because you've got senior developers, you have
- 6:54junior developers, you have artists, you have designers, you
- 6:57have people whose who've never, you know, done a, a line of code
- 7:01in their life. You have people just kind of
- 7:03kick in the tire, see what's going on.
- 7:05You have sneaky reps from Apple and all these other big
- 7:08companies kind of coming in the side door seeing what's going
- 7:10on. And, and just the, the energy of
- 7:13the group is fantastic. I love it.
- 7:16I've met great friends from from that spot and great
- 7:19relationships and it you know, it, it's interesting because you
- 7:23have had a beautiful coffee shop there in Sloan's Lake off
- 7:27Colfax, which is an amazing spot and it graduated to this new
- 7:30spot and I believe it's the world's first Vibe Coding Co
- 7:35workspace. So when did you start to see the
- 7:38need that you're going to need to build the mothership?
- 7:41Yeah, I, I, I think we saw it pretty early on.
- 7:44Those meetups at the, at the coffee shop were filling the
- 7:47house and realized that we needed to find somewhere new.
- 7:53I also feel like the energy and the excitement around what
- 7:57everyone was working on, there was this need and desire to do
- 8:02it more. So, you know, let's all hang out
- 8:05more. Let's all, all see each other on
- 8:07a daily basis instead of just every other week.
- 8:10And so, yeah, happened to have a warehouse, you know, kind of at
- 8:16the edge of town. My buddy was storing his cars
- 8:20there, working on them, stuff like that.
- 8:21And over the course of just a few weeks, got that all cleared
- 8:25out for version 1 of this. And then, you know, another
- 8:28month or so of actually kind of getting it all all up to snuff
- 8:34as a Co working space. So yeah, now we call it an AI
- 8:37clubhouse, you know, in a Vibe coding Co working space.
- 8:41It's cool and I love that you know, the just the energy.
- 8:44So it's bi weekly, people are doing demos of products they're
- 8:47working on and then the alternate Wednesdays are it's
- 8:50more for generative and media type meet up.
- 8:52Is that right? People making movies and making
- 8:54things like that. That's exactly right.
- 8:56Yeah. So you know, the full visual and
- 8:58audio creative side of things. So yeah, amazing movies, music,
- 9:04audio, visual, you know that that whole side of everything.
- 9:08We were getting so many cool demos of that during the the
- 9:12weekly or biweekly vibe coding meet up that we saw an
- 9:15opportunity to really dive in and see what people were working
- 9:18on on that front. And yeah, just some amazing
- 9:21folks that have been progressing on movies, full albums, all
- 9:26sorts of stuff in the creative realm.
- 9:29Yeah, Before we get into some of these projects, I just love to
- 9:31hear your take on where we're at right now.
- 9:34So where it's about to be, we're turning the corner into 2026.
- 9:37They're here are kind of two camps, one who see vibe coding
- 9:41as some pejorative and are kind of like, oh, that, that's that.
- 9:45You can't ship real products like that.
- 9:47And then there's the other community that seems to be
- 9:49vastly outnumbered, the other community, which is they're
- 9:52embracing these tools and they're moving very, very
- 9:55quickly. I mean, three months ago, the
- 9:58stuff that was coming out, you know, it just pales in
- 10:01comparison to what we've got now.
- 10:02So as you're looking at a 2026, like where do you think we're
- 10:06going? Yeah, I think there's a, you
- 10:09know, a lot of folks have been using things like copilot, you
- 10:13know, as a as a jumping off point, certainly Cursor Claude
- 10:17code, you know, kind of on the traditional engineering side of
- 10:22things. The folks have been embracing
- 10:24and utilizing those. And I think that that is a very
- 10:27smart move by by organizations, by teams, by individuals to jump
- 10:33in and really perfect and hone those skills.
- 10:38And then there is the amazing opportunity for everyone else,
- 10:41folks who either have dabbled in, in code, haven't touched it
- 10:45for a while, or those that are entirely new, getting an
- 10:48opportunity to bring their ideas to life.
- 10:51Folks that would never have jumped in or had any idea how to
- 10:55even start to make, make an app, make a, a product, make an idea
- 11:00come to life. And now they can.
- 11:02And so I think that, you know, you, you're saying this just
- 11:06absolutely amazing mass of people trying of stuff that they
- 11:11never would have before. And you know, certainly there's
- 11:14some learning curve. There's, you know, folks who
- 11:17have zero programming or code or product experience.
- 11:21And sure, maybe a couple of their early experiments are
- 11:24coming out not so great, but man, they, they learn quickly
- 11:28and are able to reach out, especially in our community,
- 11:32learn, you know, learn how to overcome those, those obstacles.
- 11:36And so, yeah, I think no doubt that, you know, the, the, the
- 11:42high end professionals are utilizing and, and very much,
- 11:46you know, offloading a lot of, you know, just repetitive and
- 11:52annoying tasks to these tools. And then additionally just
- 11:56opening up a, a, a massive opportunity to everybody else.
- 12:00Yeah, I mean Sam Altman kind of famously for saying it's like
- 12:03the era of the ideas person, you know, which is is just a green
- 12:07light for me because, you know, in my projects I am usually the
- 12:11designer and the Rev OPS guy. And then you got to find the
- 12:15CTO. You got to find, you know,
- 12:17these, you know, agencies, 90% have been awful, 10% absolutely
- 12:23amazing. Want to put that out there.
- 12:26But it it becomes very difficult because you have to put your
- 12:29project in somebody else's hands.
- 12:30You got to do all the spec stuff.
- 12:32You're just like the time I'm wasting.
- 12:34So now I find myself like, OK, I, I don't need that anymore.
- 12:38What can I do? And I've been going absolutely
- 12:42ham. And it's interesting because
- 12:43those first couple of meetups, you know, where just a lot of
- 12:46the tools were being introduced to me, which is, you know,
- 12:48Replit bolt, lovable, clawed, all these kind of tools.
- 12:52And so I was building the same project on three different
- 12:55platforms with the idea of like, I got to make a commitment here.
- 12:59I went with Lovable and so building and spinning up all
- 13:02these things very quickly with lovable.
- 13:04And what's interesting is I have something that's pretty close
- 13:07that I've demoed that I want to bring to market.
- 13:10Problem is, is there's just certain amount of functionality
- 13:12that I can't get no matter how much I prompt it.
- 13:15And So what I've been doing is now eyeballing a graduation and,
- 13:20and follow me or let me know here if, if this is kind of a, a
- 13:22similar track is it's like getting an MVP, getting the
- 13:26idea, getting a demo together on a tool like lovable, great.
- 13:29But when it's like, boy, I really want to get this to the
- 13:32next level. What I'm looking for now is I'm
- 13:34looking at Claude code or Sonnet, you know where basically
- 13:37I'm like, OK, I need to get into this so I can get it 90% there.
- 13:41Then I can bring somebody in for that last 10%, you know, so when
- 13:45I'm thinking about it, shout out to brain grid that those are
- 13:48helping me get the proper prompts to bring it into into
- 13:51Claude code. But now I'm starting to find
- 13:53myself in unfamiliar territory, which is like, oh man, this is
- 13:57actually I'm going to have to do some YouTube tutorials to get
- 13:59through some of this stuff. You know, N8 N is kind of like
- 14:02that as well. So when you posted to the the
- 14:05WhatsApp group about your new project, I was like, Oh my God,
- 14:09brilliant. Because this is the bridge and
- 14:11so the the project and the the tools called on demand human.
- 14:16So give us a quick introduction to that.
- 14:18Yeah, you, you nailed it. I think especially being a part
- 14:21of this, this group in this community, it's folks are able
- 14:26to crank out these products up to, you know, 8090% and then
- 14:31just something you get stuck on. And it's, it's, it's that
- 14:35classic, you know, you don't know what you don't know.
- 14:38And there are plenty of people who are out there that can help
- 14:43and fix problems very quickly who have done it.
- 14:46They've been there before. Or even down to the product
- 14:49level, like, you know, lovable does it this way or what does it
- 14:52this way or, or, you know, each platform has a different way of
- 14:55approaching these things. And so I saw an opportunity to
- 14:59vibe code a product called on demand human, where we while
- 15:04you're in your flow, while you're coding, you can quickly
- 15:09request some help from an expert in the particular application
- 15:13that you're doing. So if you're using lovable, you
- 15:16come to on demand human, say I'm working on this project, I'm
- 15:19stuck here. I'm on, you know, you select
- 15:22lovable from the list, you give it what your, your Max payment
- 15:26is. So, you know, 20 bucks, 15
- 15:28bucks, $50, whatever it is that you feel kind of the need, you
- 15:33know, works out to and request a helper.
- 15:38And we match you real time with somebody who is, you know,
- 15:42they're probably working on their, their project or where
- 15:44they're waiting for something else.
- 15:45Or, you know, they're in between projects And they, they can go
- 15:47online and real time get connected through Zoom with a
- 15:51screen share and even the ability for the helper just to
- 15:56even take over your, your screen if necessary and if desired and
- 16:01quickly, you know, within call it 10/15/20 minutes, hopefully
- 16:07guide you through your issue. So yeah, it's kind of a cool
- 16:11marketplace where helpers are able to utilize their expertise
- 16:17for some quick cash. It's not something that they
- 16:19have to sit there and look through all those different, you
- 16:24know, job postings, links, things like that and do it that
- 16:28way. It's just kind of a quick,
- 16:30quick, helpful session. Brilliant.
- 16:33It's such a great idea. I mean, the hole I found myself
- 16:36in was like literally because I'm in lovable, I'm trying to
- 16:40get the survey attributes from the survey to filter a database
- 16:44and give response. And I mean, I've done that that
- 16:49prompt a million different ways. And I was literally sitting in a
- 16:52position where I'm like, well, man, maybe I just wait and the
- 16:55capacities will update in six weeks or something like just
- 16:58like praying to the AI gods, like please make this easily
- 17:03available. And now it I have a better path,
- 17:06which is like, OK, I need a, a graduated tool.
- 17:09I need some resources I can have hand.
- 17:11And also like I need to talk to a person, you know, honestly,
- 17:15just somebody, because I know a lot of the stuff I'm doing is
- 17:17like, he could start with apology.
- 17:19Dude, I just get me started here, man.
- 17:22Just just get me a place. And it's, it's perfect for that.
- 17:26It's perfect for that. And so it feels like there's a
- 17:29place to go because, you know, chatting with AI is as far as
- 17:33like conversations go. I feel like the escalation of
- 17:36frustration and anger goes much faster with AI bots than it does
- 17:40with a person. Yeah, and I, I even see this as
- 17:44kind of like a virtuous cycle. So somebody who, you know, was
- 17:47struggling 6 months ago now knows a lot about any particular
- 17:52platform. And so now they can offer their,
- 17:54their, their, you know, maybe more junior services on the
- 17:57platform. And so, yeah, once you figure
- 18:00out this database issue, you are, you are now, you know, kind
- 18:03of elevated to that next level and and can help others, you
- 18:08know, kind of looking for and and needing that same type of
- 18:11help. Yeah, 100%.
- 18:13I mean, it's like it's that idea of, you know, if you just kind
- 18:16of came up to the next floor, you're the best person to help
- 18:18the next guy up, you know. So it's like, OK, get me into
- 18:21Claude code, get me synced with my git, get all this stuff all
- 18:24together and like just give me an orientation to get going.
- 18:27That's where I need and that's where I'm going to use, you
- 18:29know, on demand human. And then at that point I'm
- 18:31signing up. You're like, oh, I could be a
- 18:33helper. I have one very specific task I
- 18:35can help you with, but but let's go.
- 18:40Cool. How did you kind of identify
- 18:41this issue? Did this come up in in like the
- 18:44meetups? Yeah, I think that's exactly
- 18:47right. I think it was, you know, man,
- 18:49hey, you know, I'm working on this one thing.
- 18:51I keep getting stuck in this, you know, kind of prompt cycle
- 18:56and can't figure it out or yeah, just seeing, seeing all these,
- 19:01you know, kind of requests and stuff like that.
- 19:03And you know, know how knowing how frustrating it is to like
- 19:06lose your flow and lose your rhythm because, you know, I
- 19:09think fiber and Upwork and things along those lines are,
- 19:12are fine. But you know, that's a that's a
- 19:14multi multi day, if not longer process of posting what you're
- 19:18looking for, trying to find somebody.
- 19:20We, you know, wedding out everybody.
- 19:23And so was trying to think of what a cool inflow version of
- 19:27this would look like. And, you know, just, hey, let me
- 19:32let me ping the, the person who can answer this particular
- 19:35question. And you know, I think, you know,
- 19:37my initial thought is obviously through these vibe coding and,
- 19:42and AI tools, but you know, I think it works for, you know,
- 19:45for Figma, for, you know, any Adobe products, you know, hey,
- 19:51if you're working on your car, you need help with your, you
- 19:54know, with your spark plugs. I don't know things will they
- 19:56could go really far ultimately, but saw this real need and
- 20:01opportunity right now where you know, if you if you're not, if
- 20:05you're not solving this problem while you're in flow, you know,
- 20:09it's just going to sit and the project will never get done.
- 20:11You'll get distracted and not want to finish it.
- 20:17And so I want to keep everyone excited and and able to finish
- 20:19the projects that they're working on.
- 20:21It's the ultimate resource for hey, can you just real quick.
- 20:24Right, exactly. Just like it's not real quick.
- 20:28I'm I'm going to use this because it's the holidays and
- 20:30I'm sure it happens to you. You show up, see your family.
- 20:33They're like, oh, Ryan, you're in tech.
- 20:34Can you help me with XYZ? It's like, oh God, I don't know
- 20:37about fax machines, right? But let me hook you up with on
- 20:40demand human cool. And, and also we want to put
- 20:46the, the message out here that you're looking for these
- 20:49helpers, right, right. And, and talk a little bit.
- 20:51You've explained a little bit about kind of the attributes.
- 20:53These are people that are working on their own projects
- 20:56and just at there's kind of a queue, they can just come in and
- 20:59accept a queue, hop on a call, help somebody out, 1530 minutes,
- 21:02something like that. What are kind of the attributes
- 21:04you would love to see of the people that are helpers signing
- 21:07up for the service? Yeah, I think, you know, we've
- 21:10got a broad list of overall, you know, kind of qualifications,
- 21:17but somebody that's an expert in whatever they are signing up
- 21:20for. So, you know, don't go beyond
- 21:22what you are an actual expert in or at least can help with help.
- 21:28And you know, we can make it really easy to login via your
- 21:33GitHub login. We can pull down your code
- 21:38bases, see what languages that you've you've got in there,
- 21:41analyze that as well as whatever you put in there.
- 21:44And then it's all also based on what your hourly.
- 21:48Are you sorry, your minute rate is so, you know, $0.25 a minute,
- 21:51a dollar a minute, $3 a minute, whatever you want to put in
- 21:55there as as value and are able to set browser notifications as
- 22:04well as e-mail. And so as these requests are
- 22:07coming in, you get a ping if you want them, if you want that, you
- 22:10can also just browse the requests that are coming in.
- 22:14And, you know, kind of like a Uber, Lyft, first person to grab
- 22:21a particular request gets it. You know, we filter it based on
- 22:24all sorts of different attributes of the, of the
- 22:27request and how we can identify it.
- 22:29So we're trying to narrow the potential pool of helpers down
- 22:32to, you know, just the, the, the right amount.
- 22:36But that said, you know, first first one to grab a a task wins.
- 22:41Cool. And it's an interesting model.
- 22:43How did you kind of land on price per minute?
- 22:47Hopefully we are, you know, cranking these things out really
- 22:50quick, but also wanted it to feel like you're able to, to
- 22:55solve thing, you know, to solve problems that quickly, but also
- 22:58get problems solved that quickly.
- 23:00And, you know, it's full transparency to both sides of,
- 23:04you know, what they're getting paid or what they're paying and
- 23:08felt like a, a good and fair system.
- 23:10And also, you know, I, I think there's plenty of people who
- 23:14would never, you know, go on fiber or Upwork, you know,
- 23:18developers, engineers that would never want to jump on there
- 23:21because it's kind of a full time job managing what that flow
- 23:24looks like, what those kind of incoming inbound opportunities
- 23:28look like. And that's, you know, I think
- 23:30there's a certain type of, of organization or developer who's
- 23:37looking at those types of platforms.
- 23:38I wanted this to feel fun and easy also on that side.
- 23:41So, you know, I've got 30 minutes right now.
- 23:43Let me make myself available and just see what comes through.
- 23:46So, you know, it's more like office hours or something along
- 23:50those lines. Then, you know, kind of a full
- 23:52on, you know, side gig. You know, I'm hoping that this
- 23:57turns into good side gig money for for the folks that are
- 24:02helping, but also could be pretty casual and just fun.
- 24:08Hey everybody, you know what's crazy?
- 24:09I've been sitting on a gold mine this entire time and I didn't

- 26:30Visit moberst.com and let's build something category
- 26:33defining together. Yeah, I mean, it did.
- 26:37It's worth doing it for me because just a cool way to like
- 26:40meet people and what they're working on.
- 26:42I mean, I, I'm just a natural curious person and be like, oh,
- 26:44what's up, man? How can I help you?
- 26:45So it has this like, kind of like peer relationship as
- 26:48opposed to like, please submit your form and then, you know, an
- 26:52RFP and then we'll get back to you.
- 26:53And now you're talking to project manager and you're just
- 26:55like, dude. And, and it's interesting too
- 26:58that like your emphasis on like trying to stay in flow, you
- 27:01know, which I think is a creative person myself.
- 27:04I, I definitely know exactly what you're talking about, but
- 27:06describe that feeling. What it What do you mean by
- 27:08staying in flow? It's man, hard to hard to
- 27:12define, easy to feel. So you know, when you're
- 27:17cranking on a project and you just know, you know, kind of the
- 27:20next step to the next step to the next step.
- 27:22And you know, you kind of get that excitement, you get that
- 27:25energy of, you know, knowing, you know, today I'm going to
- 27:28want to finish this. I want to submit this, I want to
- 27:30launch this. I want to, you know, get all the
- 27:34feedback on on this project, whatever those are.
- 27:38And, you know, I think folks probably like us, you know, we
- 27:43get really excited about something and we're all in
- 27:45until, you know, something either distracts or derails and,
- 27:51you know, derailing moments suck.
- 27:52And they, you know, they knock entire projects off offline.
- 27:56And you know, if you, if you feel like you should be getting
- 27:59somewhere or you know, or you know, can't quite figure this
- 28:03out, you know, you're going to move on to the next thing
- 28:05because you don't want to do that.
- 28:07So trying to keep folks that are excited about what they're
- 28:10working on and, you know, kind of just in that state of
- 28:16success. Yeah, yeah, momentum is so
- 28:19important to the process. Yeah, a good place, I think
- 28:23probably to check it out is like if you've already gone to GPT
- 28:26Gemini and you're on perplexity trying to be like, how do I
- 28:29prompt the lovable to get this response?
- 28:32And then you try again. And it once you're there, you
- 28:35feel that defeat and deflate and the energy evaporate from your
- 28:40body. That's probably when you're
- 28:41like, no, no, I can pull this out.
- 28:43Like let me go find somebody, help me out and they can just
- 28:45go, all right, man, What what are you working on?
- 28:47Boom. And and take it cool.
- 28:50It's so such a good idea. And you know, I'm wondering too,
- 28:54if there's a, a side for that for, you know, the revenue side,
- 28:58because I, I've kind of found it.
- 28:59You know, I'm learning all the time and do a couple of demos
- 29:02and stuff with the group, but usually I'm just like kind of a,
- 29:05a cheering section where I'm like, dude, this is awesome.
- 29:08Ship it. Like it's like all these guys
- 29:10are on the goal line. I'm like, dude, push it in,
- 29:13let's go launch it. Let's go to market.
- 29:15Let me help you. Let me go, let's go, let's go,
- 29:16let's go. And a lot and I think a lot of
- 29:19technical founders, particularly ones that have multiple projects
- 29:22and they're always kind of spinning things.
- 29:24The hard part they have is actually like getting it out
- 29:27there and and promoting and selling it, you know?
- 29:30Yeah, and you bring up a very interesting kind of bigger point
- 29:34here is, you know, like we talked about the now is the era
- 29:38of the idea guy. You know, it's when when
- 29:44anything can get built with these tools, it's like the
- 29:48technical hurdles are just being eliminated, like everything is
- 29:52getting pushed down to anybody can create anything.
- 29:56And so it makes it interesting to be what is going to be a
- 30:00success? How to how does success happen?
- 30:02And there's a whole new version of, you know, what it takes like
- 30:08your, your technical prowess is no longer the defining piece of,
- 30:13of, of a startup, of a company, of an idea.
- 30:16It is the marketing. It's the, you know, it's how to
- 30:19get to revenue, how to get customers, how to get to scale.
- 30:24And you know, I think that that's a an interesting new
- 30:28space that we're in now and and definitely going to be in going
- 30:32into next year. Yeah.
- 30:34And I'd love to get your take on that because, you know, I am
- 30:37just, you know, I think Greg Eisenberg started talking about
- 30:40that. Like the new kind of framework
- 30:42for building products is like, you build an audience and then
- 30:45you, you select into a community and then you build a product
- 30:50that served that community. So you have early traction.
- 30:53So you have lots of validation and, and product feedback.
- 30:56You have just a you, you have your people, you know, so to
- 31:00your point, it's like an idea is not worth anything.
- 31:03Like what could can you sell this?
- 31:05And so, you know, that's obviously what you know, I'm
- 31:07doing with the newsletter and the the podcast is just offering
- 31:10a lot of value, learning a bunch, but also just creating a
- 31:14trusted individuals that I can create community when I have
- 31:17projects and I spin them out through that.
- 31:19And you, you've done a fantastic job not only creating audience,
- 31:23but really creating this community that's very tight
- 31:26knit, you know, So what what's kind of your, what's kind of
- 31:30like a modus operandi if you're thinking about like a community
- 31:33and what kind of what this kind of ID 345 community has kind of
- 31:38become. Absolutely, and you know, I
- 31:41think it's kind of there in the name too.
- 31:42So ID 345 spells ideas and I think that it's a community
- 31:48around building and bringing to fruition ideas.
- 31:52You know, I think the dream version of this would be a, you
- 31:58know, kind of a, an accelerator, a, you know, a way for all of us
- 32:03to lift all of us, a way to maybe get some investment coming
- 32:08in, although, you know, that that is less needed now as well.
- 32:12And maybe it really does come down to, you know, building a
- 32:15community known for releasing cool, interesting stuff that
- 32:20people want to see. And so, you know, as we go in,
- 32:24as you know, AI takes our jobs, all of that kind of stuff, you
- 32:28know, just to be around real humans and be a real community
- 32:33building together. And so, you know, the again, the
- 32:37dream version is to kind of get this entire community, whatever
- 32:41anybody is, is building, whatever anybody is trying to
- 32:44push, get get as many eyes on it, get get that momentum and,
- 32:49and really help help everyone. So, you know, rise, you know,
- 32:54lift all boats. Totally.
- 32:56You know what it feels like? It feels like a like a indie
- 32:59record label. Totally.
- 33:01You know what I mean, where like this is this is the label that
- 33:05you come for distribution. There's different distribution
- 33:08channels within it. And then if you got the majors
- 33:10out there, then maybe it's like, hey, lovable, why don't you want
- 33:14to jump on some sponsorship train then now we're doing
- 33:16content that's brought to you by ID 345, you know, and they're
- 33:20pushing it out as like, hey, look at these guys in Denver.
- 33:22I mean, there's like a, there's a amazing distribution model
- 33:25right there. Yeah.
- 33:27No, that's, that's definitely the hope.
- 33:28And you know, I think we, like you mentioned at the at the top,
- 33:32like, you know, we definitely have some, some secret, some
- 33:35secret shoppers that are, you know, coming here from all the,
- 33:37all the big guys we've got. You know, we definitely had
- 33:40anthropic and, and, and Google and open AI folks.
- 33:45Apple. Yeah, Apple at the at the
- 33:47meetups, you know, kind of just sitting back taking notes.
- 33:52Yeah, totally. We have to kidnap them next
- 33:54time. Put a ski mask over them.
- 33:55That's. All your.
- 33:58Secrets, yeah, it's super cool and it starts to take its shape.
- 34:02I mean, what I love about the space, there's so much people
- 34:04are great, but also the space itself there, you know it
- 34:07there's like vintage tools and vintage furniture and like it
- 34:14and it's a big garage. Like there's all the hardware
- 34:17from like when it was there was cars in there.
- 34:19And to me, it's like, you know, a lifetime ago I was making
- 34:22records and recording and, you know, rehearsing and garage is
- 34:26always the place that I feel creative, you know, So it has
- 34:30that kind of feel. It doesn't feel like we work
- 34:33where you're in like a human aquarium.
- 34:35Sure. You know, it's like, no, you pop
- 34:37up, it's kind of dark. It's got vibes.
- 34:38You know, you're like, you're there to to chill.
- 34:41It's great. Yeah, I've, I've, I've, I've
- 34:43been learning, you know, a lot of meetups and a lot of things
- 34:47try to, you know, go to very fancy places, you know, and they
- 34:51in the meeting room of a steak restaurant or, you know, the OR,
- 34:55you know, we work. I feel like is a is a fairly
- 34:57good vibe, but it still has a little bit of, I don't know,
- 35:00feels a little something. But yeah, but like the meet ups
- 35:04and the Co working just in a very authentically kind of
- 35:08creative, but not overly fancy and, you know, on purpose type
- 35:15space. I feel like let people kind of
- 35:17relax. They don't need to impress.
- 35:18They don't need to put on a show.
- 35:20They can be themselves. And I think that that really
- 35:23helps and curating, you know, kind of the physical space to
- 35:28encourage that is, is, is, is, is, is on purpose.
- 35:34Yeah, Well, it feels like you want to contribute to the space.
- 35:37You know, I've got these like rocks that my daughter painted
- 35:40when she was 7. And I'm like, you know what, I'm
- 35:43going to go sneak these around in the space a little bit, put
- 35:48googly eyes on the plants because it just, if it exudes
- 35:51creativity. And I want to ask that kind of a
- 35:54personal question too, because it, it, it is really impressive
- 35:57the things you decide to work on from my standpoint, because
- 36:01there seems to be like a thread of fun that goes through
- 36:04everything. And to me, I had to kind of make
- 36:07that recognition early on that like if, if the project I'm
- 36:11focused on, it's got to make money, it's got to be a service,
- 36:14but it also has to be fun. Otherwise I'm just not that
- 36:16attracted to it. I just like to like goof around
- 36:19and kind of have fun with stuff. And the stuff you do all has
- 36:21that. I mean, you were telling me
- 36:22about a kindergarten disco party you throw, you know, I, you buy
- 36:29these iconic amazing businesses and then just keep them exactly
- 36:33the same. Same for posterity.
- 36:35Amazing. So when you're thinking about
- 36:38like projects and being creative, like what are the,
- 36:41what are kind of the the guardrails for you that it has
- 36:44to live up to in order for you to get involved?
- 36:47You know, I think it's the, the, the experience, how I feel about
- 36:52working on it. I should care a lot more about
- 36:57making money. I, I rarely do, you know, I, I
- 37:02really, you know, I, I want, I want things to, you know, cover
- 37:05themselves. And that's kind of the, the,
- 37:08the, the biggest goal I get to not necessarily, you know, huge
- 37:12profit off after that, But I also kind of think that that
- 37:16helps make things not as stressful.
- 37:19Like, you know, like going into something like, Hey, if this can
- 37:23cover itself and be a cool, you know, place for, for folks to
- 37:28come or to meet people or whatever it is like that's,
- 37:32that's success for me for sure. I, you know, I, I need to at
- 37:37some point step back and figure out how to, how to really make
- 37:39money. But you know, when we're working
- 37:42on these experiences, meetups, physical spaces, events, any of
- 37:47that kind of stuff, like let's just figure out how to not lose
- 37:50a ton of money on them. Yeah, well, it's cool because
- 37:54it's like it. There's a baseline energy that
- 37:57like is how I want to deal with people.
- 37:59I find myself kind of back into a corner sometimes where I
- 38:03really love people, but also they drive me absolutely crazy.
- 38:07You know, It's like there's just always human problems all the
- 38:10time. And truly, like, all I want to
- 38:14do is just goof around and tell jokes and just have a good time.
- 38:17And so like, there's something about like creating a product
- 38:20and experience where it's baked in that it, you know, because I
- 38:24think that kind of like fun energy is an elevated
- 38:27consciousness. So you're like meeting people in
- 38:29a place where they're open to fun, open to receiving.
- 38:32They know it's not too serious. You know, we don't, we're we're
- 38:34experimenting here. So that makes it really fun.
- 38:39Do you do you kind of share the same?
- 38:41Absolutely, Yeah, I think that I think when you put people in a
- 38:44place that where they need to put on a show, where they need
- 38:47to be networking, where they need to be, you know, kind of,
- 38:51you know, telling their their fancy version of the story of
- 38:54themselves. You know, it gets a little, I
- 38:57don't know, those don't, they don't feel as good.
- 38:59I think, you know, another thing that I think we've done really a
- 39:03good job of on the on the the vibe meetups is making sure that
- 39:09it's it's really people working on, you know, cool stuff.
- 39:12And it's not, you know, a whole bunch of service providers and a
- 39:14whole bunch of, you know, whatever trying to promote
- 39:18themselves or their or their product, which, you know, a lot
- 39:21of meetups unfortunately devolve into.
- 39:26You know, I think we've, we've kept our as a, as a, as a secret
- 39:30of society as possible while still being very open and, and
- 39:33welcoming to everyone who really wants to be a part of a
- 39:36community like that. Totally.
- 39:38Yeah, that, that was my challenge this year is to get
- 39:40out and do a lot more networking groups.
- 39:42So I've been doing a ton of them.
- 39:43And you're right. I mean, they're beautiful
- 39:45people, but like, you'll be talking to somebody and they're
- 39:46like, hey, you know, you have submarine insurance because I'm
- 39:50a submarine insurance guy. You're like, man, hey.
- 39:55Yeah, just purely transactional versus the opposite of you know,
- 39:59which is what we try to do of of, of like let's make true
- 40:02connections and and see see what happens versus, you know, how
- 40:07can I extract money or value out of somebody.
- 40:10Cool, man, it's that time in the podcast we're we're going to go
- 40:14into the lightning round. Are you ready for that?
- 40:15I. I hate lightning rounds,
- 40:18especially when we didn't prepare for anything.
- 40:20OK. Well, unfortunately for you,
- 40:23because Danny Newman's here, it's graduating from the
- 40:26lightning round, we're going into the quantum round.
- 40:28Here we go. OK, so you've seen a million
- 40:33ideas, you've got a million ideas.
- 40:35You're working on monetizing them maybe if it suits you.
- 40:39But like if you were really dead set, I'm like I need $1,000,000
- 40:42idea tomorrow. What would you work on?
- 40:45$1,000,000 idea tomorrow. What's exciting right now is I
- 40:49think that that anything that that you want to jump into on I
- 40:55think is $1,000,000 opportunity now, like I think you can much
- 40:59more quickly get to these numbers, you know, and so you
- 41:04know, I've, I've got I'm very excited about this marketplace
- 41:08about on demand human. I think that that's a you know,
- 41:12I think that that's a real 1. I think that's a winner.
- 41:16You know, I think that there's tons of amazing opportunity in
- 41:20any sort of AI wrappers for whatever people are super
- 41:25knowledgeable about. I think that there are huge
- 41:28opportunities to make, you know, 10s or hundreds of millions of
- 41:31dollars taking what they know about AI and bringing it to
- 41:38their industry that they know everything about.
- 41:42I totally agree. You know me, I'll offer kind of
- 41:44for the audience to something that's been helpful for me
- 41:47because you know, the ideas is not the problem.
- 41:50The ideas is the time, like there's just not enough time.
- 41:53So for me, you know, I said like it's got to be fun, it's got to
- 41:56make money, it's got to be of service.
- 41:57But the, the last one is like, am I the right guy right now?
- 42:02You know, So what I started developing is I just call it the
- 42:0510's. And so if I have a project, I'm,
- 42:07I'm not going to really invest time until I have 100 people
- 42:11that have told me it's a good idea and are willing to pay
- 42:13money for it. So what I've got is, is the
- 42:1510's. And so I'll have a list of ideas
- 42:17and then every single day I'll send ten people to for or 10
- 42:21validation emails to each of those projects.
- 42:25So I'm always just spinning like, you know, what's the
- 42:28temperature of each project? And to your point, it's like
- 42:31every single one is like getting customers and people like, Oh, I
- 42:33like this, you know, so I, I really do think that like, if,
- 42:37if people are passionate about something that last validation,
- 42:40am I the right person right now? And it's, the answer is yes, go
- 42:44for it. Like, I mean, it's wide open.
- 42:47Like there's so much opportunity right now, it's kind of
- 42:50staggering. Exactly.
- 42:52Yep, more than any other time for sure.
- 42:55Cool, you're obviously very bullish about AI vibe coding in
- 43:00general. What's the bear case?
- 43:04I think the reality that AI is coming for your job is, is very
- 43:08real. I think that there are that
- 43:13everybody is going to have to, you know, be very flexible and
- 43:16malleable on how they navigate all of this.
- 43:21You know, I think that folks that really embrace and really
- 43:26learn and constantly learn are going to be in an amazing
- 43:29position to keep going. But I think, you know, I think
- 43:34the reality is that machines can do a lot of stuff.
- 43:40Yeah, 100%. Where can where is a good place
- 43:43for people to learn? Do you have resources you go to
- 43:45for to kind of see what's going on?
- 43:47I mean, I'm on, I'm on all the social networks.
- 43:50I love podcasts and YouTube and you know, everything I'm, I'm,
- 43:55I'm just always consuming, you know, I think I, I think
- 43:59algorithms are finally working again at, at Twitter and
- 44:04actually presenting good content.
- 44:06You know, same on TikTok. I think there's some really
- 44:09great stuff there. YouTube is always a a fantastic,
- 44:13you know, got interesting, interesting shows.
- 44:15I'm watching slash listening to kind of in the background at any
- 44:18given time. But yeah, it's it's that's
- 44:22another crazy one because it's so much good content exists.
- 44:26And so filtering that is is tough, but relying on the
- 44:29algorithms by the by the big guys seems to be presenting good
- 44:33content. Yeah, I, I would know, I would
- 44:36love to know if there's like specific things you're always
- 44:38looking for. Because with the newsletter,
- 44:41like we're putting out a lot of like the major news, it goes out
- 44:44once a week. So it's like there's always some
- 44:46the Elon, you know, Bezos, Altman, like all those big
- 44:50hitters have to be represented. And the news is great on, on a
- 44:53high level. But like I got a feeling you're
- 44:56looking for more technical and like useful kind of information
- 44:59when you're looking at kind of what's going on.
- 45:02Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think there's, you know, I've,
- 45:05I've been working on a whole bunch of like conversational AI
- 45:09stuff. I work on a lot of generative
- 45:13video projects. And so I'm deep in, you know,
- 45:17kind of getting the updates on which labs are releasing what
- 45:20new models and, and playing with all of those and, and stuff like
- 45:23that. So, you know, very, you know,
- 45:26just kind of trying to keep the finger on the pulse.
- 45:29Yeah, the the generative video stuff that the kind of tip of
- 45:32the spear seems like consistency from frames right now, right.
- 45:36It's like, how do I keep the character consistent through
- 45:39like all these different in the environment is, yeah.
- 45:43And that, yeah, that that earlier this year was, you know,
- 45:46unsolved. And now I feel like it's very
- 45:48solved. It's pretty cool how how quickly
- 45:50that goes. And you know, right now I think
- 45:52it's over longer durations and a few models have come out where
- 45:57it really is over really long periods of time.
- 45:59So it's a, it's a, it's going to be really interesting kind of
- 46:03ending this year and going into next year, I think there's going
- 46:05to be some amazing Hollywood quality products release for
- 46:10sure. Totally.
- 46:12My daughter is a freshman in college.
- 46:14She's going to to Mizzou. What's up, sweetheart?
- 46:17I know she listens to the show. What do you think she should
- 46:19study? I, I think about this all the
- 46:22time. I've got a three-year old, not
- 46:23that that's coming up super soon, but I, I don't, I have no
- 46:28idea. This is like the craziest time
- 46:30to try to think about any of this.
- 46:33And you know, I think, you know, over the past decade, it's
- 46:37always been OK, you know, software engineering, like, you
- 46:40know, this is, this is, this is it.
- 46:42And you know, I think that that's probably not the case
- 46:44anymore. Maybe, you know, deeper, you
- 46:47know, kind of true computer science, you know, on the you
- 46:51know, it's going to be helpful for a while, but very much, you
- 46:56know, the all these models are going to start teaching
- 47:00themselves. So, you know, new new
- 47:02information, new human knowledge is not going to be as important
- 47:05on that. So who knows building management
- 47:10or you know, like construction management, building building
- 47:12buildings, you know, real, real world stuff is going to last for
- 47:17a little while. But looking at all the, you
- 47:21know, Android robots coming out that are true humanoids is, is
- 47:29pretty crazy too. So who knows?
- 47:32You see that new one? They're teaching how to fight.
- 47:34Oh gosh, I'm sure. It's got like matrix level Kung
- 47:39Fu. I'm like, oh man, this is a
- 47:41terrible idea. Yeah, no.
- 47:43No, don't do that. We've all seen this movie.
- 47:45Yeah, exactly. Cool.
- 47:48Is there ACEO or entrepreneur that you admire or follow?
- 47:54Man, that's that's a that's a good one.
- 48:00I I mean it, it's awesome to watch everyone kind of navigate
- 48:04this, this new world, this new space.
- 48:06I think it's really hard to be kind of a absolutely stand out
- 48:11unique. I think everyone is fantastic
- 48:15right now, like a lot of people leading a lot of these different
- 48:19labs, a lot of these different companies.
- 48:22That one really put me on the spot.
- 48:24I don't know good one. I'll I'll get back to you on.
- 48:28The answer is no. I think everyone, I think it's
- 48:31really cool to watch how people are navigating this whole new
- 48:34world, you know, and just seeing, seeing what people are
- 48:39are, you know, kind of figuring out or, you know, figuring out
- 48:43and then and then removing because it didn't work or, you
- 48:46know, whatever it's it's yeah. And to your point, like with the
- 48:49algorithm now, it's not so much as like the one guy that's like
- 48:52you've all or like the guy who's like the guru anymore.
- 48:56It's more like, yeah, the for you on Twitter is like, damn,
- 48:59you know, it's just people popping up.
- 49:01It's almost like the hive mind is like always giving like these
- 49:03like cool little tactical like hints and stuff like wow, this
- 49:06is great, you know, I mean like every day.
- 49:09Yeah, maybe we need to make a Twitter bot that like, you know,
- 49:12kind of consumes that and, and and pushes it out as as their
- 49:15own knowledge every day. Exactly.
- 49:17It creates a character. Entrepreneur guy, genius.
- 49:21Entrepreneur guy. Nice.
- 49:23Cleaner. Cool.
- 49:24Kind of wrapping up here, Danny, I, you know, thank you again for
- 49:28everything you do for Denver. We all benefit from that.
- 49:31And I know you're also a big proponent and supporter of Food
- 49:34Bank of the Rockies. Maybe talk a little bit about
- 49:36them. Yeah, thank you for the
- 49:38opportunity. I I've been doing events here in
- 49:41Denver for a long period of time, started something called
- 49:43the Denver Zombie Crawl back 20 years ago.
- 49:47And Food Bank of the Rockies has always been our, our, our
- 49:51sponsor for that, you know, sorry, we are our nonprofit that
- 49:56we donate to for that. So raise tons of money, collect
- 50:00a lot of non perishables for them and especially this time of
- 50:04year, obviously in big need for for donations and so love
- 50:10everything that they're up to. Big shout out to them.
- 50:12Are you donating brains? Is that what you're doing then?
- 50:15That's exactly what the the we had big bins set up with with
- 50:20that label. So that was exactly how we
- 50:23promoted. That's great.
- 50:27That's foodbankrockies.org. Shout out to them.
- 50:31Cool. I want to make sure we hit all
- 50:33the beats here. Definitely.
- 50:35If you're interested in one, I'm sorry, on demand human.com of
- 50:40being a helper over there, go check it out.
- 50:43Super cool way to connect with other people and make a couple
- 50:45of bucks in the in the process. Very cool.
- 50:47I know I'm going to use it. I also want to give a shout out
- 50:51to id345.com where you can learn about this AI clubhouse,
- 50:56particularly if you're in Denver.
- 50:58Also, if you want to sign up, I think it's let's vibe.org is
- 51:02where you can sign up. This is obviously an in person
- 51:07meet up in Denver every single Wednesday from 5:00 to 7:00 and
- 51:10every now again, now and again. There's one down South, you
- 51:14know, I, which is great for me 'cause I, I moved to the sticks
- 51:18so I can make that one a little bit easier.
- 51:20But also, you know, if you're not in Denver, like sign up for
- 51:23this and get on the WhatsApp group because WhatsApp is really
- 51:27where the conversation is going and it's just absolutely lively
- 51:31and full of resources. And if you have a, can you help
- 51:34me real quick kind of question. Everyone there is super
- 51:37supportive and cool. It's a really great group.
- 51:41Danny, you, you created something amazing.
- 51:43Anything else we should mention? No, that's, that's the big
- 51:47stuff. We are adding the meetups to
- 51:50Colorado Springs as well starting in January.
- 51:52So if you're in that area too, and we'll probably be expanding
- 51:57some other locations as well. Incredible.
- 52:00And what's the best place for people to connect with you
- 52:02individually online? Easiest is probably just
- 52:07Twitter. I'm at Danny Newman.
- 52:11Done and done, Danny. Thank you so much for coming on
- 52:12the show. Thank you again, really
- 52:14appreciate it. You betcha.
