4) The Indie Hacker Podcast
Another side hustle podcast that totally deserves to be on our list is The Indie Hacker. Its creator, an MIT graduate developer named Courtland Allen, started Indie Hackers in 2016 with the mission to interview solopreneurs who’ve built profitable side hustles. The cool thing about this show is that the interviewer goes into a lot of details about the founders’s stories from their challanges at startup to the revenue generated.
We totally recommend reading their blog as well which is more of a reddit like forum filled with entrepreneurs discussing ideas and issues. The website is trully inspiring for any entrepreneur who wants to put a dent in the univers and is an endless source of valuable information.
