And if you are a Python developer, you've likely heard of a podcast dedicated to this programming language - Talk Python To Me (https://talkpython.fm/). It was started by none other than Michael Kennedy, a Python Software Foundation fellow (https://www.python.org/psf/fellows/) who managed to turn his expertise into a viable bootstrapped business. In this show, we talk about ways to plan a training business from scratch, what tactics worked best to grow a podcast audience, and how to make sure that you have a viable idea before you quit your day job.
