🎧 Podcast alert: How I Built This with Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar

[#1]

Hello, Atlassian Community! 

I wanted to give you a heads up on a new episode of How I Built This with Guy Raz - all about Atlassian!

In the episode, you'll hear from Atlassian founders Mike and Scott about how an email and a deep desire to never wear suits led to the Atlassian we know and love today. (With a whole lot in between, of course). 

Give it a listen, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Noticed our favorite kanban tool Trello is pictured here. I wonder what Mike and Scott used to build Atlassian and/or their initial products? Unless they time-travelled and used Trello.

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

@Dave Liao : Jira Jr. obviously... 😉

Listening to the podcast - just learned about the early Atlassian Support System, and how the founders didn't realize it had an un-ideal acronym until a year later. 💙 Also love that support.atlassian is also referred to by that name in its support article.

"The first rule of Atlassian Support System: never use the acronym for Atlassian Support System."

[Dave Liao]

@Darryl Lee - I guess it's an unwritten rule, I don't want to assume otherwise 😜

[Dirk Ronsmans]

@Dave Liao ah come'on! spoiler alert! ;-)

[Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy]

I was so excited to see this podcast pop up in my queue! :)

[Michael Kimathi]

The personality, the culture, the mindset and the approach to solution (s). Great podcast.

[Eva Kasiak]

great story about two guys who got the willingness, dreams, and persistence to build and keep trying. I think what got me was the statement about pursuing the ideas and sacrifices the money. What counts most in life are non-material things.
