In this conversation, we discuss economic freedom, importance of speaking the language of founders, hiring advice, capital allocation for non-profits, and then we unpack a number of Tiny’s acquisitions.

Flow was launched in 2012 as a side-project from Andrew Wilkinson's creative agency Metalab, who work with companies such as Uber, Slack and Coinbase, in order to improve their own internal productivity.

On today’s show, we are happy to welcome someone we’ve wanted to have on for some time now, Andrew Wilkinson. He is currently a Managing Partner at Tiny Capital, as well as the Founder of MetaLab, which helped design Slack.

Shaan and Sam are joined by Andrew Wilkinson, "The Warren Buffett of the Internet". They talk about why it's much better to be Warren Buffett and not Elon Musk, how Andrew started a local newsletter that became bigger than his local newspaper, and what the guys would do to generate millions in a short period of time.

Andrew Wilkinson is the Managing Partner @ Tiny, a vehicle that buys, builds and invests in wonderful internet companies. Within their family of companies is Dribble; home to the world's best design professionals; MetaLab and Supercast to name a few. Tiny does also make venture investments in the likes of Superhuman, SpaceX, Pitch and Buffer.

There’s only one winner in the deal between the podcaster and the music streaming giant. And it’s not Rogan.

After rapid growth, he used the profits to diversify into a variety of businesses, which today form Tiny. He has gone from working out of his apartment a little over a decade ago, to today overseeing a group of companies with over 300 employees and tens of millions in revenue.

When I met Brian McCullough, I felt like we already knew each other. We didn’t. But I had spent hundreds of hours listening to his voice during my most intimate moments. Rocking babies to sleep. Sitting in the sauna. Walking my dog. He had been in my head (or at least my ears) for hours each week.

In 2005, Howard Stern shocked the world by leaving terrestrial radio and accepting a $500 million dollar deal to move his show to Sirius satellite radio. In 2015, he renewed with a 5-year deal for $90 million per year.

I was buying a bag of potatoes. A big one. Not because I liked potatoes, but because I wanted to pay my rent. After years of eating every meal out, blowing money on clothes, and ignoring my bank balance, things had changed.

In the first few years of starting my business, I told myself I’d never let the company get bigger than 10 people. Then 30 people. Then 50 people. I associated more people with more pain. More management headaches. More accounting. More office space. I didn’t want the all the stress.

Last year, my business partner Chris and I sat down to think about what we wanted to achieve at Tiny. We thought up all sorts of lofty goals, but when we really got down to it our true goal was actually pretty simple. We wanted to do something many successful business people seem to struggle with: we wanted to actually enjoy our time at work.

Everybody knows about Warren Buffett, but few people outside of the investing world know about his business partner, Charlie Munger.

Warren Buffett is famous for handshake deals and one-page contracts. He often buys multi-billion-dollar companies after a few phone calls, usually without ever meeting the management team in person or visiting their facilities.

When I first started MetaLab, Dan Cederholm was my hero. Bulletproof Web Design was the first book I read when I was learning the ropes, and I regularly reverse engineered his stylesheets on SimpleBits to learn CSS tricks.

In this interview, Andrew Wilkinson explains why people initially fail and why you should design a business around what you want. He also outlines how to get more clients, build the right team and create successful products.
