Intro:
Hey everybody. Welcome to episode 96 of How I Built It. Today my guest is
PJ Taei, founder of UScreen. That’s UScreen.tv. It’s an online video
website where you can create your courses, sell your videos, things like
that. Now I am all about services like this because I’m big into online
education and making that process as easy as possible is super important to
me.


PJ understands this market and everything that needs to be done to make
creating your own online courses, or even your own online TV series, really
simple while still maintaining complete control. We’re going to get to all
of that in a minute, but first I want to tell you that this episode is
brought to you by Pantheon, our season-long sponsor and Backblaze, a brand
new sponsor I’m excited to have this week.


Break:
This episode is brought to you by Backblaze. As someone who works online
all the time from home, I know how important offsite backups are. That’s
why I use Backblaze. For just $5 a month you can fully back up your Mac or
PC no matter how much space you need. It’s all unlimited. They make it
super easy to do it, too. Just install their app on your computer, and they
take care of the rest. That’s why they’ve already backed up over 600
petabytes of data. You’ll learn more about them later in this episode, but
do yourself a favor, and start the backup process now for just $5 a month.

Joe Casabona
: Hey everybody. Welcome to another episode of How I Built It, the podcast
that asks, “How did you build that?” Today, my guest is PJ Taei of UScreen.
PJ, how are you today?


PJ Taei
: All right, I’m doing well, Joe. I’m happy to be here.


Joe:
Thanks for joining me. You reached out, and your platform looks very
interesting, so I am excited to talk to you about it. Why don’t you tell us
a little bit about who you are, and how you came up with the idea for
UScreen?


PJ:
Absolutely. As you said, my name is PJ. I’m located in Washington DC, we
work out of Washington DC, and two of our head people– myself and two
other developers are here. Everyone else is remote. We’re a remote team,
and we started UScreen about four years ago when I saw a need for an
easy-to-use, all-inclusive video-on-demand platform. And that’s what
UScreen is.
