Josh McMillan on Building Products, Leading Teams, and Poolside.fm
May 11, 2021
Josh McMillan is the CTO of Contact, a simple model booking platform that’s disrupting not only the way talent is sourced and booked, but how fairly they’re paid and compensated. We cover how his time at brands like Deliver shaped him into the software engineer and product creator he is today, what goes into leading a team of developers and product designers, and how to make sure they develop professionally when joining your startup. We also talk about his work at Poolside.fm, one of my favourite apps on the internet, and how they landed on the unique and delightful aesthetic it’s well known for today.
