#243: The End

The time has come to finally put this mostly abandoned podcast to rest. It's kind of a sad day for me but it is time to do this. Thank you listeners, thank you to Ian Landsman and Andrey Butov who gave me this podcast to take over, and thank you to Ed Freyfogle for co-hosting many episodes. So long, farewell, adios.

#242: Boredeom

When you run your own little software company, be it a SaaS or old school downloadable software, and you've been doing it for several years, and you've got through the major initial challenges that were interesting and fun and rewarding to conquer in the first few years, and you've now got to that point where your product revenue is stable, and your product is pretty much feature complete, it becomes boring.

Mentioned in this episode: * My coaching: https://steveofmcleod.com/ [https://steveofmcleod.com/] * My book-in-progress: https://killthehippo.com/ [https://killthehippo.com/] * My public speaking, as recorded at Business of Software Europe in April 2025: https://businessofsoftware.org/playlists/playlist-europe-2025/#SM [https://businessofsoftware.org/playlists/playlist-europe-2025/#SM]
