Loved the honest conversation around 40:00 in. Great to hear @shl's perspective, as well as @chris_hawk sharing how the recent Gumroad news affected him.
Excited to see how Gumroad grows in the future!

As a Gumroad creator, I was really looking forward to this episode. It was interesting to hear the process of going from an idea to a funded business, and back to a sort of bootstrapped business. And it was encouraging to hear that Gumroad will be around for a while. Great episode!
