#000 Micro Founders' Podcast Intro

Welcome to the Micro Founders’ Podcast where we interview non-technical professionals who have turned their ideas or side projects into profitable independent businesses such as consultancies, online courses, coaching, or SaaS products using no-code or low-code tools. Each episode is packed with actionable strategies and frameworks to help other non-technical professionals launch their own independent businesses as either a side project or as a means to transition away from traditional employment completely. In this first episode, I wanted to talk about who I am, why I’ve started this podcast, and how I hope to help other non-technical founders who are trying to figure out the dos and don’t of launching their first independent venture.
