Frank Zammit left Vibe FM not in a blaze of drama, but after a slow erosion of trust and communication. He describes reaching a point where the station's direction and his own vision could no longer coexist — and where staying would have cost him more than leaving.
Where this was said

The post-Terry era at Vibe FM is Frank's story of a ship without its original captain. The brand Terry built was so personalised and vision-specific that, without him, the question of what Vibe FM actually stood for became genuinely difficult to answer. Frank describes a period of attempting to maintain momentum while internally sensing that something fundamental had changed. The station had become repetitive, the calendar predictable, the energy flattening. Where Terry had pushed for constant reinvention, the structure after his departure defaulted toward safety — and safety, Frank argues, is death for a personality-radio format aimed at a younger demographic that demands surprise and spontaneity.
Frank opened up about experiencing a difficult period of mental health struggles that ultimately played a role in his decision to leave Vibe FM.
Frank Zammit didn't just leave Vibe FM for career reasons. He describes a period of genuine mental health difficulty — a reckoning with who he was outside the station and what he had been neglecting in pursuit of the job.
Frank describes the moment at Vibe FM when professional tensions stopped being about the station and became about the people. That shift, he says, is when everything became irreparable.
Frank Zammit decided to leave Vibe FM after years of investing in building its brand and identity, citing a breakdown in communication and unresolved tensions with management.
Sam built Algrow, a SaaS for finding viral content formats, with zero coding experience using ChatGPT and Cursor. Six months later: 10,000 users, $14K/month in revenue.
Sam's first MVP threw an application error on its very first user — and he shipped it anyway. The core idea worked, and that was enough to validate the product and keep users coming back.
Sam joined Discord voice chats, muted himself, and silently screen-shared his product. Users in the chat started tagging him asking what the tool was. No pitch needed — curiosity did the selling.
Most founders post links in Discord and immediately get banned for self-promotion. Sam's approach was the opposite: build rapport, help people with the tool, let word of mouth do the work.
Find where your ICP lives. Listen before building. Validate with DMs and Loom recordings. Build in public with users inside your own Discord server. Turn early adopters into advocates with free access.
Instead of fearing the self-promo ban in large Discord servers, create your own private server for your product. You funnel in ideal customers and build a relationship that email can't replicate.
Algrow helps creators find and replicate viral video formats, starting at $25/month. It analyzes subscriber counts, average views, and trending formats — and can even generate the videos with AI.
After weeks of Sam silently screen-sharing in a Discord server, the server owner — unprompted — made a full YouTube promotional video about Algrow. Sam paid nothing and asked for nothing.
Producer Gus admits Discord never crossed his mind as a customer acquisition channel. Pat connects the insight to a broader lesson: match your distribution channel to where your actual customers live.
