We're celebrating our 10 year anniversary this month! If you haven't listened before (or haven't in a while), we've revamped the podcast to include many different show formats you won't hear in other shows focused on building ambitious startups without raising venture capital. I hope you'll give it a listen.
Congrats on the anniversary Rob! I usually listen to the podcast when having a rough week and it always lifts my spirit. ✌️

That's great to hear. I'm really glad it's helped you.
I really enjoy your podcast. Please continue. I am a software entrepreneur for many years. Previously there were internet forums and communities like Joel on software and discussions at bootstrapped fm. Both now are closed. But I listen your podcast when driving my car.
Rob created more than a podcast. It’s an entry into a fantastic community of homebrew entrepreneurs.

You rock, sir. Thank you so much!
Listening to and on my daily commute (back in 2008) was what made me feel like bootstrapping my own company was possible. Since then I stair-stepped my way to building a SaaS, first with books and courses, until eventually (10 years later) launching with Jon. I couldn't have done it without their advice!
A must-listen for anyone building a software company without venture capital 🏆
Congrats on the 10 year anniversary! Where do you see the next 10 years going with the podcast?

We essentially had the same format for ~9 years and revamped it into a more varied show with many different episode formats. I see that continuing, and with experiments like TinySeed Tales (season 1 ran in this same RSS feed) I'm trying to find more novel ways let founders share their stories while educating the listeners.
Wow, congrats on the anniversary. I’ve been listening since the beginning and it’s still one of my favorites. It’s in my podcast list, at the top each week. I’m also really enjoying the new format.

I really appreciate that, Rob!
best startup podcast out there! looking forward to some more tiny seed tales!
I’ve been listening on and off for years and I prefer the new format, it’s a faster pace without loosing anything! It’s also good to check in with Mike from his technical progress and personal health. The new interview format (almost story mode) is very high quality - a great reboot.

Thank you, sir! Really appreciate that.
My #1 recommended podcast to anybody who is running a business, especially entrepreneurs whether bootstrapped or looking for angel funding. You start out thinking you're building one type of business and things can go any number of directions—this podcast offers such expertise and experience from Rob, Mike, and others that you are sure to find inspiration and insight to help you along the way.
This is an amazing podcast! It has helped me a TON with building my business. Thank you Rob and Mike for all of the years of hard work, consistency, and thoughtful information.
