    MyFirstMillion is likely a well known podcast for IH. Some episodes are as good as it gets for brainstorming ideas, which is my favorite part. The hosts do their research and really bring an interesting perspective. It's a little shallow, unwise and tech-bro-y, but worth a listen.

    The Hard Thing About Hard Things is a phenomenal business book. I've read it twice and I think I need to read it again.

  2. 1

    The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia:
    Good introduction to indiehacking, explaining the process from start to finish in an entertaining way. Made me actually start with it

    Zero to Sold by Arvid Kahl:
    More in depth, also explaining the process of building a bootstrapped software business from start to finish

    Built to Sell by John Warrillow (also recommended by Arvid Kahl):
    How to build the business so it's robust, can run on it's own, and is sellable

    Can I plug my own new podcast here? :) It's called The Virtunes Podcast, and it's about two entrepreneurs (and long-time friends) who collaborate virtually on projects and music while travelling the world! It centers around business and personal growth, so if you're interested in that, check it out on Spotify!

      Sounds really cool...
      definitely gonna check it out

    Reading books has never been my favorite, but I must admit that the Indiehackers website has become my invaluable mentor and lifebook. It has become a constant source of inspiration and guidance, shaping my journey in countless ways.
