What's up everybody? This is Cortland from EndiHackers.com and you're listening to the

EndieHackers podcast. On this show, I talked to the founders of profitable internet businesses

and I try to get a sense of who they are, what shaped them, and how exactly they've built

their successful companies.

Now I'm back after an unexpectedly long hiatus. My apologies for not communicating perfectly that I was going to take a break, but I wasn't aware that I was taking one myself until I

was about halfway through it. But now I'm back. I'm feeling refreshed. I've got a lot of

great conversations lined up for the rest of the year, so you guys can stop giving me shit on Twitter.

This first episode is with the one and only Stephanie Holbert.

Now, if you don't know Stephanie, you're missing out.

She's one of the most inspirational and impressive figures that I know in tech and startups.

In this episode, she talks about how she became a graphics programmer, how she went from an employee

to being a contractor, to starting her own successful business. Now, just to give you a sense

of how successful it is, she's only one half of a two-person company, yet right before we started

this podcast, Stephanie had just gotten off the phone from negotiating a seven-figure deal to

sell her product. And if that isn't enough, Stephanie is big on work-life balance,

and she limits herself to working 20 hours a week.

So yeah, it's easy to understand why Stephanie is one of my role models.

I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode and learning from her as much as I did.

Without further ado, Stephanie Horbert.

Okay, Stephanie, how's it going?

It's good. It's good. I'm excited.

I'm excited, too. Thanks so much for coming on the show.
