Great episode again. I loved both your business inside and the overall approach.
Most helpful to me was the idea of “productising” versus gig-jobs. So to have a product to be used by others rather than chasing one gig at a time in the hopes of paying bills.
I also think that constantly building a product caters to a different set of self employed / entrepreneurs than doing different gigs all the time. Sure both have their unique challenges.
One should listen to his or her’s inner voice I guess.
Thank you also for not suppressing the constant struggle you both felt while on the path to your current success.
Great podcast!
