Hey Indiehackers!
For the last 9 years, @amyhoy and I have been working together to teach and share what we've learned building our businesses with others who want the same kind of freedom of building and selling things on their own terms.
We've done it so many ways: free articles, podcasts, and talks. Paid courses, books, live events, our own conference, and (occasionally) 1-1 coaching and support. We've helped lots of folks, including some peeps here on IndieHackers like @brennandunn, @joelhooks, @dceedia
and others.
But all of the stories we have to share are post-hoc. It's easy to look back on history and tell the story we want to tell. A lot of earliest blogging and writing was done "in the moment" so it's a lot more accurate than reflective retellings, but the view into what it's actually like (including the messy mistakes and course corrections along the way) is limited.
So...we're trying something new. We recently started working with Mojca Zove, a friend of ours who is an expert in creating and deploying facebook ads. She's making the shift from serving clients (she juggles up to 10 at a time, zoinks) to selling a range of products to help business owners run their own ads, and other consultants get their clients better results.
The fun part is that Mojca is documenting the whole process from her point of view. Snips from our coaching calls. What she's doing, in real time. What she struggles with. The guidance and feedback she gets from us. How she feels through the whole thing. The results as they roll in.
The first two videos are up on youtube now. The first video is a brief intro and Mojca's backstory for context. The second is where things get fun, and Mojca actually starts getting and implementing advice to work towards her product launch.
Check it out, follow along, and let us (and Mojca) know what you think!

Enjoy :)
I'm so STOKED to be working with you and Amy on this + documenting all of it. I'm trying to imagine what it will be like in a year, looking back at these videos. 🤔
I guess we'll have to wait and see. :)
Your doing a great job of presenting your inner thoughts- I feel like I'm really understanding your working on, problems your having, your inner state, etc.
Keep it up!
oh wow, thank you! that means so much to me!
I like it! There's so much more accountability and thus credibility in doing this in real time vs going back and cherry-picking the winners.
This looks pretty interesting, will definitely be following along!
Exciting stuff! Look forward to following along
this is so great. thank you for doing it!!
Will we be seeing the before and after? For example for the email sequence or how the reverse launch plan looks like?
We're working on adding ways to share what we can as bonus resources :)
This is cool, I was thinking of doing something similar to this when I (find the time/energy) to start a new community.
