A few weeks back, we had the unique opportunity to sit down with Tom Preston-Werner, co-founder and former CEO of Github. We met in a church he recently renovated into an incredible event space and rolled the cameras to capture our wide-ranging conversation. Over the better part of an hour, we covered his early years, the founding and scaling of Github prior to its acquisition by Microsoft for $7.5B, and so much more.


Bryce Roberts hosts INDIE AUDIO, a podcast that explores the less-charted paths of building a business. This isn't about scaling to infinity or chasing venture capital hype; it's a grounded conversation focused on sustainable growth, practical technology, and the real work of entrepreneurship. Each episode features founders and operators who are building meaningful companies on their own terms, discussing the strategies, hurdles, and personal philosophies that define the indie journey. You'll hear candid stories about bootstrapping, profitability, product development, and maintaining creative control in a world obsessed with exits. The dialogue is built for anyone who believes a business can be both a livelihood and a craft. Tune in for honest insights that prioritize resilience over rapid expansion and thoughtful execution over mere spectacle. This podcast lives in the details of building something that lasts, offering a necessary counter-narrative to mainstream business culture. Find INDIE AUDIO wherever you listen.
