Product Explorer Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jakob Greenfeld
Let's learn from all projects, not just the biggest hits! A podcast about messy beginnings, small bets, and overnight successes that were decades in the making.
- Helen's Twitter profile
- Her insane side project review which contains links and comments to all projects we talked about.
Rob Hope is a maker from South Africa and the project he's most famous for is a site called One Page Love. But he also recently published a great book titled Landing Page Hot Tips, he has a podcast and curates beautiful emails.
We talk about all the projects he worked on in the past, why every side project he launched provided lessons for the next and how all of them helped him to fulfill his dream of quitting freelance.
I got the chance to talk one of the people I admire the most in the maker world. Mubashar Iqbal ("but you can call me Mubs") is an incredibly prolific maker with decades of experience building things.
