Sasa is an indie maker I initially met on Indiehackers, and we then both ended up in the ‘digital nomad village' in Madeira during the Summer. We recorded this conversation in-person whilst we were there. If you're someone who wants to be an independent blogger or an author or a creator of any kind, you're already on that path, or you're currently in a spot where you're feeling unhappy in your employed job, I feel like you'll enjoy today's episode and there's lots in our conversation that might speak to you. We talk about: introducing yourself, and your ‘identity' as a creator why Sasa left his full-time job as a software developer ‘building in public', and connecting with people on twitter how Sasa and I met, our experiences in the ‘digital nomad village' in Madeira, and the importance of friendships and community what Sasa is currently working on and more.

My friend Lauren Sapala & I are both writers and writing coaches. We both happen to be creative introverts and INF personality types (Lauren is an INFJ, Jas is an INFP). In part 9 of our conversation series, we talked all about our *sensitivity* and how we can manage it. This one was prompted by someone asking me that very question whilst I was in Madeira over the Summer.

In this episode, I read an entry from my journal dated Monday, September 20th, 2021.
