Andrew: Hey there, freedom fighters. My name is Andrew Warner. I am the founder of Mixergy.com, home of the ambitious upstart. I’ve done over 1,000 interviews. And you know, one thing that I’ve heard over and over again as I’ve done these interviews, is start with the smallest, most simple version of your idea possible.
Today’s guest is smiling as I’m saying this. And the reason he’s smiling is, he went way smaller than most people would even imagine. He created a multi-million dollar company, but started it by selling just an Excel spreadsheet. Not Excel, not a spreadsheet, just like a spreadsheet he created on Excel. And today he’s got a really successful, thriving company that I invited him here to talk about. His name is Jesse Mecham. He is the founder of You Need A Budget, or YNAB for short. It’s software that helps people create budgets.
