Self-Made is a Myth Podcast
Podcast interview where I share my journey building lasting SaaS businesses, the power of partnerships, and why I'm obsessed with onboarding, risk reduction, and hiring ‘batteries included’ people.
I'm never one to turn down being on a podcast, especially since acquiring Fireside.fm, a podcast host. So yesterday, I hopped on a call with Tim Campsall to chat about running Box Out and Very Good. And the crazy thing is it's already out on Youtube. I wasn't in my home office so my background was bleak and my audio was subpar but still a great conversation.
Highlights
- Shortest path between builders and users is critical.
- Hire “batteries included” people who are self-driven.
- I’m not really good at anything specific. I’m just good at being glue.
- Measure progress (time tracking) and celebrate wins to avoid burnout.
- Design products to save people time. Design your business to free your own time.
- People buy from people. My dream as a developer is to build a good product and never talk to anyone, but it just doesn’t work that way.
