Show Notes
This week, I got on my first post-COVID trip and headed to Denver, Colorado for MicroConf 2023.
It.
Was.
Awesome.
Unsurprisingly, being in the same room with 250 other bootstrapped SaaS founders is one of the nerdiest things you can do. And it was as enlightening as it was nerdy. I just arrived back home in Canada a few hours ago, so I took the opportunity to share my insights from the conference on my podcast. Enjoy!
