Marc Lou's been hacked (and it's fine), WordPress Drama, VC founders are poor

Season 1 · Episode 8

Monday, October 28, 2024 • Duration 01:29:01

We talked about Marc Lou's being hacked and why it is not that bad.

Also a little about why VC-backed founders are actually poor even if they seem super successful.

The biggest part of the episode is John lecturing (again 😪) about how to make viral content on 𝕏 and Reddit. Pretty insightful, especially for makers who struggle to get attention with their content.

Enjoy!!!

Coursebois vs makers, Vercel vs Cloudflare, how to make viral tweets

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 • Duration 01:56:09

This episode's biggest drama is coursebois vs makers 🤓 It is my favourite topic because I want to make a course, but I do not want to lose my reputation as a "real" maker.

And do not miss the "how to make viral tweets" part. 𝕏 is now accessible to anyone. You can build huge audience within a couple of years of constant tweeting. Check out how John did it to get from 0 to 40k in just 1.5 years or so. It is a gem.

Have fun!!!
