    One of the best episodes so far! Loved the Ice Break ideas… and I am looking forward the secret party at MicroConf 🙂

    About the idea of an app to upload expenses from Evernote to Quickbooks.. have you checked Expensify? It costs $11/mo (I think), does not have Evernote Integration yet, but you can take snapshots of receipts in your phone and it will send to Quickbooks or Xero or NetSuite…

    Thanks for the shoutout Scott.

    And thanks to Brecht for focusing on conversion rates regarding putting the 12-step sales letter to use (that you mentioned in a recent episode).

    Congrats on the half-century of podcasting.
