Elizabeth Teckenbrock is a scammer/grifter. There is a limited series podcast about her. Please look her up. It's such an insane rabbit hole!

My first thought when I read the title of your podcast on YouTube years ago was it was somehow referencing Sleepless in Seattle, and I'm not into movies and I also know quite a bit about Seattle as I used to live in Vancouver. Sorry Dr. Honda 😅 btw I'm from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Boy, I needed the con artist aka entrepreneur rant. Coming from a public service / psychology job I started to code after becoming chronically ill (can't work in my job anymore). I listen to indie developer / entrepreneur podcasts a lot now and am often horrified at the single-mindedness and lack of ethical concern of these people. Also, the Elon cult is real. Some devs from Europe lived off social security measures until their business took off, then suddenly turning against taxes / state support for people in need and stating they might leave for Trump's USA as he brings so much innovation 😠.
