Sharing stories from the software industry from solopreneurs, indiehackers, small businesses and solo devs. So many lessons learnt and great failure stories and I am to deliver them, to you, through podcasts, blog posts and newsletters.
Mac is life long entrepreneur and passionate SaaS bootstrapper. He’s also the person behind thesaasbootstrapper.co (http://thesaasbootstrapper.co/) which makes him a source of inspiration and truth! I had the privilege of being joined by Mac for episode 08 and was left with energy to grind and hustle. His approach is straight forward, no-nonsense and with a lack of tech religion, which was refreshing. Mac is also open to other builders reaching out to him and a huge supporter of indie hacking and entrepreneurial activities.

EP07: Developer education with Mat Ryer & Bill Kennedy
Learning technology that will be valuable for your career can be hard. Finding out about the tech is one problem, then finding solid information to digest it is another great hurdle to jump. Mat Ryer & Bill Kennedy join me for episode 7 to discuss developer education and (lots) more. We talk a lot about the Go community, because this pair are super heroes from that space, but the lessons are widely applicable.

I'm lucky to have been a co-host on his Software Gone Wild podcast and I figured it was time to dive into his back story in episode 6! Ivan has had a colourful career so prepare for some laughs!

EP05: Dago Renouf, Meme King & Logology
With little time, so much can change. When I first met Dagobert, he was working on a startup called Logology with his wife Lucy. Roll the clock forwards a good few months (almost eight I think), and Logology is no more, but the legend that is Dago and Lucy's story will live on in the community for a good while yet.
EP05 is now a look back in time as I chat Logology with Mr Dagobert Renouf.
Dago now works for Abyssale as a product manager and you can find more about him below:

EP04: Ana Bibikova & Startup Marketing
Episode 04 took a different turn and we went down the marketing path! Ana Bibikova wrote a Notion marketing playbook, which I found fascinating and she was active in some of my social media circles, so being terrified of marketing people, I said hello and got talking. She also offered a "roasting" service, in which your beloved baby of a product could get destroyed by Ana, in the name of improving it. Luckily, she treated me gently and we recorded this episode! Ana's background is absolutely fascinating and I'm lucky to chat through her story.
Since we recorded this, Ana transitioned to Aimondo where she's the head of marketing.

EP03: Rafal Wilinski, DynamoDB and Dynobase
Rafal Wilinski is the man behind Dynobase, a desktop tool for the AWS DynamoDB database. After reading a book on Dynamo, Rafal's tool was mentioned, I tried it, loved it and had to chat! DynamoDB made sense for many of the things I do and Dynobase became a staple tool in my day to day. We introduce Rafal, what drove him down the path of creating a tool and chat what it's like being a creator.
