Hi, I’m Justin.
Right now, I'm building a new podcasting startup with my friend Jon Buda. It's called Transistor.fm. If you need podcast hosting, let me know!
I also run MegaMaker (a community for bootstrappers). This is what's paying the bills while I build Transistor! My offerings include Marketing for Developers and Jolt, which have sold 6,000+ copies.
I’ve been working with SaaS companies since 2008. I was the Product Manager at Sprintly and Mailout, and have consulted on marketing & growth for startups in London, San Francisco, Boulder, and Portland.
My blog, podcasts, and videos focus on topics like product marketing, traction, finding out what people want, idea validation, and mental health.
Every Saturday morning I send an email to my list. I talk about bootstrapping, making stuff as a geek, and earning a living on the internet.
