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

EndieHackers podcast. More people than ever are building cool stuff online and making a lot of

money in the process. And on this show, I sit down with these indie hackers to discuss the ideas,

the opportunities and the strategies they're taking advantage of, so the rest of us can do the same.

One of the best ways to build a successful business as an indie hacker is to teach people a valuable

skill that you know. In fact, I just looked at the last 50 episodes I've recorded, and about

half of them, 25 were educators, which is

actually way more than I expected. So in this episode, I sat down to talk to two of the best

educators that I know. Darrell Silver is the founder of Thinkful, an online learning service that's

helped thousands of students get high-paying jobs in tech. He sold his company for $100 million in 2019.

And Quincy Larson is the founder of FreeCodeCamp, one of the most impressive projects

on the internet that I personally really look up to. This is his second time on the show.

So if you haven't heard his story, go check out episode number 56, I believe.

FreeCodeCamp has helped over 40,000 people learn to code and get jobs at tech companies.

And Quincy has done us all as a non-profit. So it's quite different than Daryl's approach.

In this episode, we talk about the future of education. It's changing rapidly with so many people

coming online and so much new technology being invented. So we get into some of the best ways for

indie hackers to get started as educators.

We talked about the money side of things and the economics behind an education business.

How much money is too much?

How much money should you be charging students?

And how do you run a nonprofit as successfully as Quincy has?
