Hi, I’m Justin.
I'm the co-founder of Transistor.fm. We do podcast hosting and analytics for folks like Basecamp, Taylor Otwell, and VH1. You can hear about our journey on the Build your SaaS podcast.
I write a weekly newsletter about what it's like to bootstrap a SaaS.
I also run MegaMaker (a community for bootstrappers) and wrote Marketing for Developers.
Most Saturday mornings I send an email to my list. I talk about bootstrapping, making stuff with computers, and earning a living on the internet.
My work has been featured in:
