Welcome to the Doing Epic Stuff podcast with your host Mike Drohan. Together we’ll explore the stories and journeys of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Man, being an entrepreneur is a real test. It just is.
There are no safety nets.
No cheer squad when you’re feeling sh*tty about progress (or lack of).
No ‘easy days’ where you can just coast, safe in the knowledge that there will be a pay-check at end of the week.
It’s all
on
YOU!
But for some, such as Dagobert Ranouf and his wife Lucy, co-founders of design software-as-a-service start-up known as Logology, there simply is no other choice...
One of the few newsletters I subscribe to and always make time to read is called Indie Hackers – what’s an Indie Hacker?
(noun)
person building an online project that can generate revenue
person seeking financial independence, creative freedom, and the ability to work on their own schedule
It was within this very newsletter that I first heard of man-like-Dagobert-Ranouf and his truly EPIC entrepreneurial journey - an engrossing story about the shifting fortunes of the digital entrepreneur, the perils of a poor co-founder match and how authenticity and vulnerability have underpinned a last-ditch marketing strategy which has put Logology on a trajectory to success and made Dagobert an unlikely influencer in the Twittersphere.
Enjoy and remember to be YOUR Epic!
Mike
