Bootstrapping SaaS

Martin Stellar (https://twitter.com/martinstellar) talks about what it means being a Monk and how all that relates to ethical selling. We talk about products, Martin's coaching, his new services and apps, and even tailoring. It's along one full of gems.

I got a chance to talk to my long time online friend, Cam Sloan, who's currently working on Hopscotch. We talk about the challenges of being a solo founder, b2b/b2c Saas opportunities, personal brand, photography, and more.

Noah just quit his job to fully focus on Potion.so. We go deep and talk about the benefits of running a growing product, exiting, VC money, growth, lessons, building vs marketing, and more.

Ben Mann (@digitaltrouble) comes up to share what he's been up to.

blogstatic's momentum is growing and I'm trying to maintain my pace without being overwhelmed.
