#2: Rob Hope
Rob Hope (https://robhope.com/) is a maker from South Africa and the project he's most famous for is a site called One Page Love (https://onepagelove.com/). But he also recently published a great book titled Landing Page Hot Tips (https://gumroad.com/l/hottips/), he has a podcast (https://robhope.com/yo) and curates beautiful emails (https://emaillove.com/).
We talk about all the projects he worked on in the past (https://robhope.com/graveyard), why every side project he launched provided lessons for the next and how all of them helped him to fulfill his dream of quitting freelance.
