I interviewed Kyle Gawley, who went from VC route and hospitalisation from stress to becoming a successful indie hacker making $25,000 a month on his own terms. Then members of the High Signal community asked him questions. We do an AMA once a month and the rest of the time we help each other in the Telegram community and on weekly Zoom calls.
