0:00.0	What's up, everybody? This is Cortland from AndyHackers.com, and you're listening to the
0:11.7	NDHackers podcast. More people than ever are building cool stuff online and making a lot of money
0:16.4	in the process. And on this show, I sit down with these indie hackers to discuss the ideas,
0:20.4	the opportunities,
0:21.3	and the strategies they're taking advantage of so the rest of us can do the same.
0:29.4	All right, I'm here with Ravi Mehta and Victoria Young, the founders of Scale Higher. How's it
0:34.4	going? Good. How are you doing? I'm doing excellent. I wanted to have you two on the show because, uh, from my perspective at least, there's been this like explosion in coaching the last few years. Like my girlfriend wants to be a life coach.

1:23.6	Victoria and I met about two years ago right as I was leaving Tinder and Victoria
1:28.8	was thinking about what she wanted to do next.
1:31.5	And for about a year and a half, we would catch up every once in a while, help each other
1:35.1	with the writing we were doing, talk about some of the coaching that we were each doing.
1:40.1	And this recurring theme came up, which is that we just kept hearing from people that they don't
