Episode 88: Today, I’m highlighting a nearly $20m per year business that is run in a pretty unconventional way. This business has no meetings, no deadlines, and no full-time employees. The business is Gumroad, an e-commerce platform for creators, and to break it down I chat with Sahil Lavingia the company’s founder & CEO. While the way Sahil runs Gumroad may be too unorthodox for how you run your company, I have no doubt that this episode is going to push you to think more critically & creatively about what it looks like to build a business in 2024.
