Product Hunt Radio - Podcast tekijän mukaan Product Hunt
Abadesi talks to Sahil Lavingia, founder and CEO of Gumroad, an online platform that enables creators to sell directly to their customers. Sahil is a very authentic founder who is not afraid to speak uncomfortable truths, as you’ll see in the interview. They talk about... * His journey starting Gumroad and what happened when they realized the company wasn’t going to be as successful as they had hoped. * Why relationships in Silicon Valley are so transactional. * Dealing with the psychological ups-and-downs of having your identity as a founder so wrapped up in the fate of your company. * His philosophy of technology, both personally and at Gumroad. * Why he believes so strongly in in-person connection. We’ll be back next week so be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Big thanks to Embroker and Vettery for their support. 😸
