Justin Jackson’s Two-Year Journey: Growth, Change & Burnout

Hey there,

It’s been a while since Jon and I sat down for a real catch-up. In this new episode, I open up about the past two years—both in business and life—and I want to share some honest reflections with you.

When we started Transistor.fm, the dream was simple: replace our salaries and gain the freedom to live life on our own terms. I didn’t expect just how much this company would enable: Jon and I both moved, bought new homes, and built lives that truly fit us.

But it’s not just about milestones. I’m now entering a new phase—two kids off to college, two still at home, and for the first time, I feel space to ask: What do I want next?

We also get real about burnout. As I say in the episode, “Having the capacity for a company to let people live their lives feels rare.” That’s something I’m deeply grateful for, and it’s shaped how we run things at Transistor.

If you’re curious about the human side of product, entrepreneurship, and what happens when you finally create margin in your life, I’d love for you to tune in.
