Johannes Radig (@joradig) runs a SaaS from the Canary Islands — the most recent stop on a globe-spanning digital nomad trip. Johannes and I chat about building a software business for agencies, how hard it is to find just the right prices, and what traditional marketing efforts can do for indie hackers.

We dive into Leadsie, the social media onboarding SaaS he co-founded, and how it is built as a calm and profitable business.

Also, we both grew up in the same city. And now we live on opposites sides of the world. Here's two indie hackers catching up:

“If this tech keeps developing as fast as it does right now, will I ever be able to catch up?” is a question on my mind and the minds of many founders I’ve been talking to recently.

So, what about AI should we focus on? Where will this tech slow down, where will it speed up even more, and what should we focus on for our businesses?

307: Addressing my Weaknesses

March 29, 2024

I’m a pretty okay developer, but when it comes to marketing and sales, I really need help. And for the longest time, I’ve held myself back.

That ends today.

My current SaaS business, Podscan, is at a point where some very important decisions need to be made. I’ve got something quite big in the works, and I’ll be talking about this next week in much more detail, but it made me think about the long-term needs a business like mine has, how I can personally fulfill them, and where I have skill gaps that I will have to work on.
