Today JR and James joined by Arvid Kahl, who previously built and sold his SaaS, Feedback Panda, for a life changing amount of money. From then Arvid has made it his mission to help other indie founders build a successful bootstrapped business, through his books Zero to Sold and The Embedded Entrepreneur and also his weekly blog, newsletter and podcast, The Bootstrapped Founder.
In this episode we talk all about how Arvid motivates himself to show up to write content every week, the economics behind a creator business and why he doesn’t just build another SaaS.
