Justin Jackson is a husband, dad, product guy, podcaster, and now he’s a SaaS owner (you can check him out at MegaMaker.co and Transistor.fm).
Even after a decade in the software industry, he’s the first one to admit he’s still trying to figure things out. But after interviewing hundreds of people, he realized that their defining moments were often a result of relationships. One of his own defining moments came from meeting a friend who pushed him to do a podcast together. That experienced motivated him to do his own show, which resulted in countless relationships and opportunities.
He also credits getting a therapist as one of the best things he’s ever done. After a really rough year, connecting with a therapist really helped him get back on track and it’s something he recommends everyone do, even you don’t think you need it.
Another milestone for him was when he published Marketing for Developers. It gave him an asset that continues to bring in revenue and allows him to breathe a bit easier when he takes other professional risks.
Justin is currently a new SaaS for podcasters, Transistor.fm. He also publishes a weekly newsletter for independent entrepreneurs and business owners.
