How To Use Generosity To Build A Huge Audience (And Business!)

06/07/23 • 64 min

This is a special “Flip the Script” episode! Instead of answering a guest’s questions, host Josh Spector brings on an expert he wants to learn from and asks them three questions.

Today’s guest is Arvid Kahl. Arvid is a writer on Twitter who is just trying to help people (best bio ever). He’s written two books and shares his knowledge on the Bootstrapped Founder blog, Bootstrapped Founder podcast, and the Bootstrapped Founder Newsletter. You can engage with him on Twitter @arvidkahl.

Here are some of the most valuable moments in their conversation:

00:00 - Introduction
10:47 - Please Stop Making This Twitter Mistake
25:44 - You're Looking For Product Ideas In The Wrong Place
27:23 - Do You Want An Audience Or A Community? (It's a trick question!)
