Full-time domain investing – DNW Podcast #588
Q: What are the pros and cons of being a full-time domain investor over the years?
Pros include independence, flexible scheduling, less commuting, and the ability to build wealth over time through compounding; cons include high workload, isolation, and the need for constant adaptation to evolving markets, plus managing risk during down periods.
Full-time domain investing – DNW Podcast #588
Q: Tell me about your transition to full-time investing and what motivated that move.
I went full-time around April 2020 when a major client paused a project; the pandemic created an environment where domains could accelerate, and I decided to dive deeper into domain investing, which paid off as the market surged.
Acquiring and building TLDs – DNW Podcast #586
Q: How do you manage DNS abuse with low pricing across many domains?
We take abuse seriously with 24-7 monitoring via IQ Global, suspend offending domains when needed, and coordinate with registrars on communication and action, balancing accessibility with safety.
Acquiring and building TLDs – DNW Podcast #586
Q: What is ShortDot's origin story and why did you pursue the registry business?
After leaving a previous registrar, I moved into the registry space, acquired .icu and other extensions through partnerships, and built a model focused on short, easy-to-remember names. This led to expanding into multiple extensions and forming a scalable distribution strategy with registrars.
Birth certificates for AI agents – DNW Podcast #587
Q: When can enterprises expect a tangible product, and what does success look like in the near term?
Alpha products for certain enterprise segments are in development, with broader availability anticipated within six months; success is seen as industry-wide coalescence around DNS as the identity solution rather than simply counting birth certificates.
