🏅 20. James McKinven (Indie Bites): How to start a podcast + personal life chat

I'm a podcaster, video creator and marketer. By day, I'm part of the Growth Team at Welder. By night, I run various different side businesses. Indie Bites is my podcast, Striqo is my podcast editing service and Whitstable Craft Co is what I do when I need to get away from the screen. I love starting and building side projects (maybe too much) and I'll make some mistakes as I go. I like to share my thoughts on my blog, which contains candid updates on my progress, failures and general musings. I also listen to a lot of podcasts, here's what I'm listening to currently. The content I produce is fuelled by coffee, so if you're feeling generous you can buy me one here coffee here 🚀 I spend a lot of time on the internet, so send out a weekly (or so) email containing my finds for the week and updates from my blog. If you're interested in marketing, podcasting, technology and building side-projects, then I think you'll like my newsletter —— Links Reddit SaaS: https://www.reddit.com/r/saas My Twitter: https://twitter.com/chddaniel My product: https://Simple.ink/

🏅7. Paul Jarvis (Fathom Analytics)

Their bio (from the AmA post) Hi all, I’m Paul Jarvis. I’ve worked for myself in tech since 1999. I started out as a freelance designer working with companies like Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Yahoo, Warner Music and even Shaquille O’Neal. I’ve also written several books, including Company of One, which has been translated into about 20 languages so far. Several years ago I had an idea: “What if website analytics weren’t ugly and didn’t invade anyone’s digital privacy”. So I spent a few hours in Photoshop and mocked something up, tweeted it, and the tweet took off like wildfire (queue: Fry from Futurama “TAKE MY MONEY” memes). From there, I worked with a cofounder to build Fathom Analytics, which started out open-source (1+ million downloads), and then moved to a hosted, paid SaaS. 📊 usefathom.com Fast forward to today: that original cofounder left in 2018 and my new cofounder Jack Ellis has been working with me to get Fathom to where it is today: 1000s of customers, profitable enough to be infinitely sustainable and pay us both salaries, and enjoyable enough to work on every day and still love doing it. Our model has been very similar to my book (obviously the title was never meant be literal, since we’re a company of TWO 😂): question growth, focus on retention over acquisition, and never outspend our revenue. —— Links Reddit SaaS: https://www.reddit.com/r/saas My Twitter: https://twitter.com/chddaniel

8. Live AmA, Marie Ng (Llama Life): Bootstrapped a productivity SaaS, taught myself how to code

Marie's Bio (from the AmA) I’m Marie. I spent 10yrs in a career of branding/advertising and went from knowing no programming to launching my first SaaS in a year (if anyone is thinking of switching careers or learning to code, I can highly recommend it!) Llama Life started off as a side project, something to help practice my coding skills. But it also came from a very personal need. I’d been chipping away at this concept that productivity is “not so much about time management, it’s about attention management”, ever since I got diagnosed with ADHD over 10yrs ago. Llama Life is a productivity tool that helps you work THROUGH lists, not just make them. I'm a solo founder and bootstrapped it to around 500 paid customers, and I recently got into the LAUNCH Accelerator which is run by Jason Calacanis. —— Links Reddit SaaS: https://www.reddit.com/r/saas My Twitter: https://twitter.com/chddaniel

🏅 23. Derrick Reimer (SavvyCal.com)

Derrick's bio (from their AmA) Hey, I’m Derrick Reimer, a full-stack developer. I fell in love with the 37signals ethos back in 2009 and I’ve been bootstrapping ever since. I've built and sold StaticKit (acquired 2020), a toolkit of dynamic components for static sites, Codetree (acquired 2016), a way of managing development tasks across multiple repositories, and Drip (acquired 2016), a lightweight marketing automation tool that grew into a leading automation platform. A year after writing the first line of code for SavvyCal in March of 2020, it passed $10k MRR and we've been growing healthily ever since. SavvyCal is mostly bootstrapped as we took funding from TinySeed back in 2019, before SavvyCal was a thing. We're a lean team of 3, with a marketer and support specialist in addition to myself, possibly soon expanding. I also co-host the Art of Product podcast with Ben Orenstein (Tuple co-founder) where we've chronicled our journeys building products the last 4 years. It hasn't been all sunshine and roses, like when I spent a year building a Slack competitor and then shut it down.
