#251 – The Best Ways to Make Money in Tech with Julian Shapiro of Julian.capital

Author: Courtland Allen and Channing Allen April 27, 2022 Duration: 57:11
Julian Shapiro (@julian) is back on the show today. He's been my co-host for our podcast Brains, he's an investor at Julian.capital and a writer at Julian.com. Lately, he's been super into investing. He's managed to take an overly complex thing like investing and reverse-engineer it, breaking it down into its simplest frameworks.

Behind every successful online business, there's usually a story of late nights, unconventional choices, and a lot of learned lessons. Indie Hackers, hosted by brothers Courtland Allen and Channing Allen, pulls back the curtain on those stories by speaking directly with the founders who are building them. This isn't about Silicon Valley venture capital pitches; it's a grounded conversation with people who started with a side project or a simple idea and figured out how to make it sustainably profitable. Each episode feels like a candid chat, digging into the real mechanics-the specific strategies, the unexpected hurdles, and the practical tools-that actual people use to create independent income. You'll hear how they identified their opportunity, attracted their first customers, and structured their work to move beyond a traditional career path. For anyone curious about the tangible steps behind building a business on your own terms, this podcast offers a wealth of relatable insight and actionable detail, all centered on the growing community of creators shaping their own futures through technology and entrepreneurship. Tune in for honest discussions that replace theory with the messy, inspiring reality of getting it done.
