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
