What if the key to solving your remote work communication woes lies in a video messaging app? In this episode, we sit down with Josh Little, a seasoned entrepreneur, to unpack the story behind Volley, an asynchronous video messaging app designed to bridge the gaps left by tools like Slack and Zoom during the pandemic. Josh takes us through the exhilarating early days of Volley's development, from the viral response to an initial survey to the rapid prototyping that garnered early traction and significant interest from both users and investors.
The journey wasn't without its hurdles. We delve into the psychological barriers that professionals encounter with video messaging and the challenge of gaining user adoption in a high-risk, low-trust work environment. We discuss the iterative process of refining Volley's features and the stark contrast between workplace communication and more personal, low-risk environments. Despite promising signs from YouTubers and content creators, Volley faced insurmountable obstacles, prompting a pivot toward a consulting model.
Join us as we listen to Josh reflect on the emotional toll of entrepreneurial failure, sharing candid insights on the impact on his health, relationships, and investor expectations. He offers valuable lessons on resilience, the importance of perseverance, and the evolving landscape of asynchronous communication. Despite the setbacks, Josh remains optimistic and driven, believing that his best work is still ahead and determined to repay the trust of his early supporters.
