Ep 9: How this Former Lawyer Turned Developer Bootstrapped Went from $0 to $150k MRR and Sold his Business with Nick Fogle

Buy and Build: Acquiring an Online Business & Building in Public

Imagine being in debt $250k in student loans from Law School and living paycheck to paycheck - sounds painful doesn't it? Well this is exactly what Nick Fogle did and he decided he hated being lawyer, so he quit and taught himself how to code instead. His story is not for the faint at heart but if you're looking for inspiration - look no further! We walk through Nick's journey in great detail to understand the struggles to the small wins to the eventual sale of the business which finally helped him get out of debt. In case you're wondering what business he made, it's those fancy social media posts for podcasts with the video waves (wavve.co). And if you listened to our previous episode from Calm Capital, they're the ones who actually purchased Wavve, so we have a connection between a previous episode and this one here. Hope you all enjoy it, if you want to discuss further - feel free to connect in our facebook group more.
