Show Notes

I speak about our strategy for 2026 and why distribution is key for our bootstrapped products. I share how SEO is working better for us than social media, and how we’re building a universe of interconnected products using SEO, newsletters, and YouTube. I explain how my co-founder and I split roles, mix personal touch with AI, and how caring about users improves both product and SEO. I discuss scaling this approach and future plans to create more content. Let me know your feedback or questions!
