Building a SaaS Alone: Why You Might Need a Therapist (and Other Lessons)
A talk I presented at Latency Conference in Perth
Earlier this month, I was fortunate to be selected for a presentation at the wonderful Latency Conference in Perth.

Title:
Building a SaaS Alone: Why You Might Need a Therapist (and Other Lessons)
Description:
So, you want to build a SaaS? Great! But before you quit your day job, let me share some hard-earned wisdom from my solo journey. I built a SaaS. It was supposed to be a side project. Now I'm a marketer, salesperson, customer support agent, and therapist (mostly to myself). From marketing mishaps to customer conundrums, I'll reveal the hidden challenges that lie beyond the code. Warning: may induce laughter, tears, and an overwhelming urge to hug your product manager.
Enjoy! I’d love to hear any feedback you might have about the talk if you have any!

I loved this talk when you gave it at the GDE/GDG Summit in Sydney. Such a great insight into the trials and tribulations of running your own business and building software.
