Striking the Right Balance as an Indie Hacker with Sergio Mattei of Makerlog

Episode #151

Sergio Mattei (@matteing) might be the most energetic founder I've had on the podcast. After discovering the world of online maker communities, he built his own from scratch—Makerlog—and grew it into something special through his passion for sharing and celebrating others' achievements. In this episode, Sergio and I discuss the importance of finding balance in all things as a founder: gathering insights from users vs your personal vision; seeking feedback from the market vs chasing validation from other makers; and getting things done on a consistent basis without letting productivity hacks and hustle culture overshadow the people and things you love outside of your business.

      Congrats Sergio on the IH Podcast debut! It was definitely very inspiring to listen to your journey. I really the idea you shared on Streak 3.0, hacking it to allow people to rest without breaking their streaks. That's genius. Keep up the awesome work :)

      P/s: Does the podcast interview you made on IH, without a video call?
