This chapter explores the process of turning customer ideas into fully developed product features. It discusses the roles of the scopper, designer, and builder, and the transparent and flexible work environment within the company.
Episode 88: Today, I’m highlighting a nearly $20m per year business that is run in a pretty unconventional way. This business has no meetings, no deadlines, and no full-time employees. The business is Gumroad, an e-commerce platform for creators, and to break it down I chat with Sahil Lavingia the company’s founder & CEO. While the way Sahil runs Gumroad may be too unorthodox for how you run your company, I have no doubt that this episode is going to push you to think more critically & creatively about what it looks like to build a business in 2024.
