Communities before product • Bruno Talks With

Episode #2 of Bruno Talks With is out.

Communities before products

I had a chat with John Saddington (founder and CEO of YEN, @8bit) about this mindset and why indie hackers should do it this way. What's a community at all?

Here's the link on YouTube so you can watch it! I would like to thank John one more time for being my guest. Although the episode was "semi-directed", we had a spontaneous chat. This podcasting is a really nice way to meet new people.
