No plan, no roadmap. It just happened. To mark the occasion, Frank turned the microphone around and invited other podcasters: Adam Bien (airhacks.fm), Jennifer Reif (Breaktime Tech Talks), Kadi McKean and Steve Pool (10xInsights), and Oumaima Zerouali (JCast). Same three questions for each: why did you start, what broke, and what did you learn?&lt;/p&gt;
