Space news aggregator and educator Fraser Cain is on the Cold Star Project to discuss Elon Musk's Starlink and his experience with startups. 

SHOW NOTES:

First we cover the Starlink constellation:
 -what is it (high speed worldwide ISP satellite network) 
-compliance requirements -space junk / Kessler Syndrome problem - lowered planned altitude solution -astronomers not consulted - streaks of satellites crossing images blocking view (somewhat fixed) 
-privacy & political considerations - it's a broadcast network - no intermediary / routing - all traffic will go at same speed.
 

Fraser co-founded 2 businesses in the 90s that went public and another that he made a lifestyle business:  
-Absolute Software for a laptop theft recovery system 
-Communicate.com web development for large companies 
-Communicate owned early one word domain names 
-discovered self-knowledge of where his genius range / fun point is in business 
-found his "fun factor" is in educating and directly connecting with readers through Universe Today 
-"20 years later still having a ball" 
-features: minimal staff, built to last, strong purpose (not Exit for money, but "how do I make this more fun for me?") 
-uses Pateron because he doesn't like paywalls 
-how self-directed vs Patreon-directed? His readers want the "chefs special" 
-If-Then Statements about Happiness that don't work out in reality (people end up sadly surprised), so pick something you love.
