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. Want to start your own podcast? Read my guide.
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:
