I’m Justin. I help creators do 10x things and turn their ideas into flagship digital products! AMA 👇

by
Hey Product Hunt! I’m a Senior Writer at , host of the Gumroad Podcast, and Instructor of the 10x Creator Course. Today I’m a student of the creator economy, but it didn’t start that way. I was in the U.S. Navy for 11 years, and I served as a certified nuclear engineer aboard a fast-attack submarine. I later served as Director of Communication and speechwriter to senior U.S. officials, including SecDef Jim Mattis, SecDef Leon Panetta, and General (Ret.) David Petraeus. After that, I transitioned into the tech world and spent four years as an Evangelist at Palantir. In 2018, I co-founded a tech company focused on consumer content management (we didn’t make it, but I’m happy to talk about lessons learned!) Since then, I’ve gone full-time as an independent creator. I helped structure “Build Once, Sell Twice” (a smashing success because of his ability to communicate and promote), and I helped build and launch “Building a Mountain of Levers,” which is picking up steam and scaling! I’d love to answer questions on any of the experiences above and what I learned from teaching my first course. I'll be in and out answering questions all day, so fire away! 🚀 Lastly, my latest project is the poster collaborating with Ash Lamb and Janis Ozolins.

Nice to meet u, Justin!
Good afternoon Justin pleasant to meet you on PH. We are working on B2B SaaS product whats your suggestion on it for start to scaling the product.

Good thread. Question from the builder side: when you help creators turn an idea into a flagship digital product, where do most of them get stuck, the making or the selling?

From what I see the idea and the product are usually fine. The mess tends to start after, when one creator is running checkout in one place, community in another, and email somewhere else, and the flagship product ends up buried under operational glue.

I work on DukieX.com so I lean toward the consolidation side of this, but I'm genuinely curious whether you see the same drop-off, or whether it hits earlier than I think.
