Summary: <p>"The Mikes" are joined by <a href="http://patrickrhone.com">Patrick Rhone</a> to take a behind the scenes look at the the launch of his <a href="http://patrickrhone.com/2013/04/14/so-you-wanna-be-a-mac-consultant-now/">So You Want To Be A Mac Consultant Now...</a> ebook. In less than one week, Patrick took what started as a question on App.net about an old blog post, began updating the piece and turned it into the first ever Minimal Guide. Wondering how a question on a social network led to a living blog post which turned into to an premium ebook that is still being updated as this episode goes live? Schechter and Vardy were too, and thankfully Patrick was more than happy to share his experience.</p> <h2>Want a Free App.net Invite?</h2> <p>Speaking of App.net the team at App.net were kind enough to provide <a href="https://join.app.net/from/fdlplchgbs">200 invites to the free tier of ADN</a> accounts especially for listeners of Mikes on Mics. If you're yet to give the service a try, both Vardy and Schechter (as well as Patrick) are big fans of this social network.
