Today we’re joined by Rob Walling, an entrepreneur with his most notable exit being Drip in 2016. Rob also founded MicroConf, started TinySeed and is the host of the Startups for the Rest of Us podcast, which has over 690 episodes having started in 2010. He’s also written 4 books, Start Small Stay Small, Start Marketing the Day You Start Coding, The Entrepreneurs Guide to Keeping Your Shit Together and most recently, The SaaS Playbook.

In this episode we discuss a myriad of topics in bootstrapping and business, including life after exits, why Rob feels compelled to write books, his most successful angel investment and if he would invest in Lemon Squeezy today.
