Episode 10: Jason Fried
“My next door neighbor Adam calls me and says, ‘Hey, you gotta see this.’”
About Jason
Jason Fried says he doesn’t want a bio. That’s good, because a comprehensive one would be a long read.
If Jason weren’t the co-founder and CEO of Basecamp, he would be a ceramicist. “I would love to just throw pots all day.”
Probably a good thing he is what he is. Not only does his company develop its namesake project management and internal communication tool, but as of the summer of 2020, they are redefining email with HEY, a ground-up rethink of the mainstay last revolutionized by Google in 2004.
And that’s just a start. Jason is a TED speaker, a bestselling author, Inc columnist, and that’s just scratching the surface.
