Summary

Mubashar Iqbal, AKA Mubs, has always been a maker. Having built 85 side projects, he is no stranger to launching new products, being inspired by his love for Product Hunt, he got the idea to create something with the same mechanics, but for podcasts. On a train ride home, he started to build pod hunt, a place for podcast lovers to submit and vote on new episodes, solving discovery around episodes over entire podcast shows.
