Today's sponsor - Talk to Stefan

Talk to Stefan is coaching for founders by my good friend Stefan Manku (although he does work with some employees and/or managers) When you're feeling stuck, not sure which direction to go, feeling overwhelmed with too much to do or needing clarity, Stefan is the guy to call. He won't tell you what to do or how to do it... he'll ask questions, give you space and help you to find clarity.

About James
I’m at a slightly earlier stage than Dan, but also left my full-time job in 2021. I get most of my income producing podcasts for clients but it’s my aim to turn my own podcast into a profitable, sustainable business. I run the Indie Bites show, which is 15 minute conversations with indie founders, currently doing about $700 a month in revenue. I also have a podcast course called 2HourPodcast and a handmade leather wallet business, both of which I’d like to grow over the year.
