You better believe it. It's startups for the rest of us, episode 575, where Derek Reimer joins me to give a quick update on Savvy Cal and what he's been up to lately. He's actually thinking through a hiring decision. And then we dive into listener questions. And we talk about shipping code as a bootstrapper versus a large team, talk about pivoting and a zoom-in

pivot, talk about what that means, and we answer more listener questions. Hope you stick

around and join us before we dive in. MicroConfromote 3.0 is happening November 30th,

0:32.7

December 1st, and 2nd. This is our third microconformote, which is a virtual event. It's the no-code guide

0:39.9

for B-to-B SaaS founders. We're going to take a look at the ever-evolving world of no-code.

1:23.5

because the stakes were so much lower here.

1:25.9

The tickets are really inexpensive.

1:27.7

It's a few hours of your time over a couple of days.

1:30.0

And so it's a great way to dip your toe in the water if you have enjoyed the previous

1:33.1

remotes or if you've never been to a microcom.

1:35.0

So head to microcomf remote.com.

1:36.9

If you want to get notified when tickets go on sale.
