Business Time: Recent Episodes
David Becerra, Chris Oliver
Business Time is a show about what it's like to start a business from the perspective of two software developers.
Chris and I get together after 7 months! We are two indie hackers in different phases of their businesses. David talks about what it's like to side-hustle while working a full-time job. And Chris, about what it's like to focus on your business full-time.
We catch up on what we've been up to and what's been on our minds. You know, other than the crippling anxiety over COVID-19.

Why remote work is great, but flexible work is more important.
I was recently introduced to Josh Braun's "I teach my wife sales" videos and have been really enjoying them. They're short and sweet tidbits that cover sales techniques.

Topics include: seeking funding, the possibility of getting acquired, the highs and lows of starting a business, and changing gears after things turn out differently than expected.

Yo! You haven't heard an episode from us ALL YEAR, now's your chance. In this episode, we talk about setting goals for 2019, and how we might make them stick. We also talk about doing things that don't scale and using that as a competitive edge.
In this episode, David and Chris talk about what it looks like to "do your own thing" and touch on the sacrifices that come along the way.
