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.

I'm here with Sahel, Lavingia. Sahel, welcome back to the show.

Thanks for having me. Always excited to do this.

I'm excited to have you. I'm here with your book.

The Minimalist Entrepreneur, got a copy with me, how great founders do more with less.

First question I asked to everybody who writes a book is, why did you write a book?

You could have a newsletter. You could, I mean, you've got a huge Twitter presence.

You could be blogging. Why a book? Yeah. Well, certainly there's nothing unique to the book in the sense that, you know, everything interesting and smart that I have to say, I want that stuff to reach as many people as possible. So that's, you know, my Twitter is kind of like the best place for all of that. But But I think that I don't know, like a book is,

is just different.

Like I think there's something nice about having an artifact that I can kind of

point people towards and say, hey, you know, if you are interested in my sort of

thoughts on sales, marketing, hiring culture, basically anything, you know, that that has to

with building business and starting a business, I guess, you know, that has to do with building business and starting

a business, I guess most importantly, I want there to be kind of a single place that people

can go and get it.

Right.

And I find that like Twitter and emails and all that stuff, I think is great.

But it's it's the opposite of timeless, I find.

Like it's kind of very relevant and it's great for getting distribution in the moment.
