Arvid & Tyler Catch Up - Should You Embellish Your Success?
play

05/10/23 • 58 min

Tyler's all healthy again, and Arvid is writing another book. Together, they wonder if they have some sort of "expert-level imposter syndrome." So many influential advice-givers out there have no shame and happily embellish their own stories, yet Tyler and Arvid hesitate to promise even realistic outcomes. You'll find they have a very good reason for that hesitation, and it's a surprising one: intimacy.

Arvid & Tyler Catch Up - Books, Antibiotics, and Dealing With Social Isolation
play

05/03/23 • 60 min

Arvid and Tyler discuss Arvid's recent interest in writing and publishing books, including his potential book on building in public — and how it should be published. Tyler also shares his recent struggles with illness and the outpouring of support he has received after announcing staff reductions at the Calm Company Fund. They both reflect on the value of building in public and the community it creates — and how this community can help entrepreneurs navigate the choppy waters of social isolation. Paul Millerd and Dagobert Renouf get shouted out... a lot.

This last week has been brutal for indie hackers. Tyler and Arvid talk about how platform risk can threaten your business and what to do about it.

And, for some reason, they talk about Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

Today, we have a special guest on the show: Michele Hansen, co-founder of Geocodio, a SaaS business that provides hassle-free geocoding, author of the very practical book Deploy Empathy, and now an entrepreneurial activist. There is something extremely urgent going on. Michele shares how she is staying calm while facing massively disruptive legislation changes. We chat about what indie businesses can do to be (and stay) resilient under external pressure, what factor physical calmness plays, and how the Calm MBA can incorporate these lessons.

03/15/23 • 50 min

Arvid & Tyler talk about the SVB craze, what it means for bootstrappers, and what a calm business is all about.

They also —finally— have found a name for the pod! In true build-in-public fashion, they share the process behind scoping down the name, why naming things is generally hard, and how that relates to the Calm MBA. The SVB panic makes an appearance, and you'll learn what consequences this has for self-funded entrepreneurs. And you'll find out just how Arvid and Tyler want to integrate calm founders into their collaboration. Hint: the recording booth might get a little crowded.
