Rob Walling is a godfather of the bootstrapped SaaS movement — he's started 6 companies (5 bootstrapped), built and sold Drip for 8 figures, and created the infrastructure behind MicroConf, TinySeed (which has raised nearly $60 million and invested in over 210 SaaS companies), and Startups for the Rest of Us (820+ episodes over 15 years). But here's what surprised me: Rob told me he's more of a creator these days than a software founder. The guy who built and sold an email marketing platform now gets his dopamine from podcasting, writing books, and making YouTube videos. And his experience on both sides gives him a perspective on the vibe coding trend that I think every creator needs to hear. In this episode, we get into the actual mechanics of how Rob runs his business — the team of 11 people, the $100,000-$120,000 monthly payroll, the four brands he wishes were two. We talk about how he eliminated stress from his life through therapy, hiring owner-level thinkers, and handing the project management to someone else entirely. And we have a real conversation about why vibe coding a SaaS product is probably not the opportunity you think it is — even if you have a big audience. This is part 1 of a 2-part episode; part 2 lives on Rob's podcast, Startups for the Rest of Us. → Rob Walling on Twitter/X → Rob Walling's YouTube Channel → Startups for the Rest of Us (Podcast) → MicroConf → TinySeed → Drip (Rob's 8-figure exit) → SavvyCal (co-founded by Derek Reimer) Full transcript and show notes *** TIMESTAMPS (00:24) Introduction — why Rob Walling is a unicorn in the bootstrapped SaaS world (02:40) Mapping the full Rob Walling business ecosystem: podcast, MicroConf, TinySeed, books, YouTube (05:15) How Producer Ron keeps the trains running on time across four brands (06:44) Inside the team of 11: roles, full-time commitment, and why Rob stopped hiring part-time (07:53) The psychology of making your first full-time hire (and Rob's 8-year wait for MicroConf) (09:33) Moving from task-level to project-level to owner-level thinkers (10:27) Four brands, two LLCs — the insurance story behind the split and why Rob wants to consolidate (12:18) Why Rob doesn't want his name on everything (and the legacy question) (14:41) Identity shifts: from SaaS founder to serial entrepreneur to content creator (16:31) The vibe coding reality check: why building SaaS is 10x harder than creating content (19:09) Why SaaS churn makes recurring revenue harder than it looks for creators (21:04) The construction analogy: tool sheds vs. skyscrapers and where vibe coding breaks down (24:53) Data from 234 investments: only 10-15% of successful SaaS companies lack a technical founder (27:00) The bigger opportunity for creators: equity partnerships instead of vibe coding (29:00) 'Build your network, not your audience' — why audiences plateau for SaaS growth (31:53) A week in Rob's life: deep work Mondays, advising Wednesdays, and the 329 TinySeed founders (34:00) How Rob eliminated stress: therapy, delegation, and giving up project management (38:46) Hiring for high-functioning: screening for 'Producer Ron'-level operators (41:21) The positive tension of deadline stress and why containers make you ship (43:09) Post-exit motivation: 6 months of comic books, guitar, and getting bored into purpose *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → #291: 48 Hours With Clawdbot: How I'm Using It and Initial Reactions *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → Submit your question here *** WHEN YOU'RE READY

Nic and Tarina mention “snow-megadon” in Oklahoma. While they were looking for warm clothes to fight the chill, Tarina wanted her robber mask. Nic, bumfuzzled, confirms they have plenty of robber/ski masks. In this episode, Nic says that when leadership happens we're developing others. This is the fourth proof of leadership. It's important to note that teaching and development are not the same thing. Teaching a skill is one thing. Developing the person is different. Leaders focus on technical skills, on the how-to, whereas developing focuses on a person's capacity. Teaching is showing. Developing someone's capacity is drawing out and raising up—and it takes patience. Capacity to handle more responsibility, make better judgments, or handle more stress—this takes patience and a focus on the long-term. As a leader, you show proof of your leadership by asking more questions, engaging your team in thinking for themselves. You also show proof of leadership where you let your people struggle and figure it out.

We react to Creighton's new baseball uniforms.
Tarina launches with a question for Nic: “Can you help me improve?” Nic immediately knows it's a trap—and he questions whether to take the bait, which he does. In this episode, Nic and Tarina talk about the third Proof of Leadership: Model. They take the idea of leading by example further—giving substance to the practice of modeling the behavior you want to see in others. The question they ask themselves: If we aren't leading by example, then what happens to our influence? Modeling is a discipline not just a skill. You have to develop the capacity to do the hard things, whether it's strapping on the tool belt or doing the paperwork. The easy thing is to just send an email or schedule a Zoom call. The hard thing is to go to the job site, pull on your steel-toe boots, the hardhat, and look at the crusty sheet metal workers in the eye. Behavior is communication and doing the hard thing builds trust over time. Nic shares a story about how to model the communication you want to see. He concludes, “Just because information is bad doesn't give you permission not to communicate it.” If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/0US0bHGynQoIn this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry once again welcome Structure Tech's Service Manager, Eric Houseman, for a deep dive into one of the most debated topics in home inspections: flashing and exterior water management. Prompted by an email from fellow home inspector Chris, the discussion explores real-world challenges with flashing details, siding clearances, and the gap between best practices and industry standards. The episode highlights why these details are often overlooked, how that impacts homes, and what inspectors and homeowners should know to avoid costly hidden damage. Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeaways“No damage yet” is not a valid reason to ignore improper flashing—problems can take years to surface.You often cannot confirm the absence of damage without intrusive inspection, so assumptions are risky.Even small, undersized, or poorly angled kick‑out flashings can increase water intrusion potential.Head flashing/drip caps above windows and doors are universally required by manufacturers—even if local builders claim otherwise.Context matters: overhangs, siding type, wall assembly, and home age affect how serious missing flashing is.Water‑resistant barriers and tape alone cannot replace properly installed rigid flashing.When in doubt, report the defect clearly and let the builder or homeowner decide the next steps.Home inspectors must balance clarity, liability, and real‑world practicality when writing reports.Builder and agent pushback is common—but manufacturer instructions are the ultimate authority.Good bedside manner and client communication can prevent inspectors from being labeled “deal killers.”Chapters00:00 Intro and episode setup00:27 Welcoming back Eric Houseman00:56 Show sponsor: IEB01:40 Listener Chris's email and the topic of exterior water‑management defects02:47 Question 1: Kick‑out flashing05:23 Undersized or improperly angled kick‑outs06:15 “There's no damage—why mention it?”08:06 When and why Structure Tech calls out inadequate kick‑outs09:43 Real‑world builder behavior and simple fixes11:11 How wording in reports focuses on increased potential for problems12:10 Balancing best practice and liability13:53 Question 2: Drip caps and head flashing17:12 Why windows and openings universally require rigid flashing18:37 Builder pushback: “It's not required.”21:07 What siding manufacturers expect (and why it matters)24:03 Considering home age, siding type, and overhangs25:46 A continuum of concern: stucco vs. vinyl28:08 How Structure Tech phrases drip‑cap comments29:12 Question 3: Z‑flashing, drainage gaps, and siding clearance31:57 Manufacturer requirements vs. real‑world installations32:46 Structure Tech's canned report language36:57 Should you mention missing kick‑outs on older homes?

This episode of OnlyLands is a wide-ranging, uncensored roundtable that blends dark humor, media skepticism, and deep dives into recent Epstein document revelations. The hosts unpack viral claims about Jeffrey Epstein allegedly being photographed inside a “CIA” facility, carefully breaking down how misleading imagery and shorthand labeling fueled mass misinformation. From there, the conversation turns sharply toward disturbing email language found in Epstein communications, including repeated references to “pizza” and “grape soda,” and what those coded phrases may imply when viewed in context. The discussion expands into how long-suppressed narratives are finally breaking into the mainstream, with figures like Bill Maher cautiously acknowledging elements once publicly mocked. The panel debates the psychological toll of the information war, the slow conditioning of the public over nearly a decade, and why institutional credibility is collapsing in real time. Along the way, the hosts weave in commentary on Bitcoin, state power, media manipulation, and why certain truths require years of exposure before the public can confront them. Raw, irreverent, and deeply analytical, this episode captures the uneasy moment when denial gives way to reckoning.
Is Ares Capital (ARCC) still a buy as interest rates fall? In this video, I break down my recent purchase of ARCC at $18.99 and why I view this BDC (Business Development Company) as a long-term "income factory." While many investors fear that Fed rate cuts will hurt dividend stocks, I dive into the Q4 2025 earnings report to show you the "spillover income" safety net, the 108% dividend coverage, and why ARCC's floating-rate debt structure protects its margins. We compare ARCC's total return to the S&P 500, showing that reinvesting dividends (DRIP) is the key to outperforming the market with high-yield stocks. Whether you are a passive income seeker or a dividend growth investor, learn why ARCC's 10% yield and 1.8% non-accrual rate make it one of the safest high-yield investments in 2026.

Nic nearly Wreck-it-Ralph'd his Corn studio because he couldn't get his microphones working—only to find out his speakers were off. And evidently, Tarina loves a good gas station hotdog (not). In this episode, Nic and Tarina talk about the second Proof of Leadership: Clarity. They provide personal examples of how successful they are together when they communicate with clarity. And they agree that it's important to say it not just think it. A (new) hard Nic Bittle rule: “Lack of capacity does not excuse lack of communication.” In other words, you're inability to say something aloud doesn't give you permission to make assumptions about the another person's grasp of what's most important—or how you want things to get done. One area people drop the ball when it comes to clarity is, as Tarina shares, if a leader does not clarify directions and the team executes based on what the leader says and consequently the results are not what the leader wanted, the leader gets upset at the team. As a leader, are you telling your team “Just get it done” or “This is how I want you to get it done”? This is how you set clear expectations if you want good results.

The book of Amos is uncomfortable—and necessary. In its final chapter, God confronts religious hypocrisy, false security, and empty worship, reminding us that His justice cannot be escaped. But Amos does not end in despair. It ends with hope: God promises to preserve a remnant and restore His people through the promised Son of David. Join us as we see how judgment and mercy meet in Christ, and why this ancient prophecy speaks powerfully to the American church today.#Amos9 #AmosHBC #MinorProphets #JudgmentAndMercy #FalseRefuges #Remnant #SonOfDavid #KingJesus #GraceAndTruth #FaithComesByHearing #HoriconBaptistChurch
John 2:1-12 Jesus' first sign at Cana shows that he replaces the old purification system with the abundant new wine of the new covenant, revealing his glory and calling spiritually dry people to believe in him as the true source of life. Pastor Daniel Ackerman
Nic and Tarina talk about some comments they received from the recent episode on marriage. Nic then informs listeners that Tarina is “fancy”—which we already knew.In the episode, Nic introduces The 5 Proofs of Leadership: Evidence that Leadership is Happening. The first proof that you are competent leader is: You Protect. They discuss different lenses (environments) where you lead. The question: How do you protect those around you? It's about carrying the load—absorbing the stress and tension as people grow and develop. One way to handle the tension is to have someone on your team that you can vent to. Protection as a leader also means not passing the load onto your family or bringing it into your life. Protection is about self-sacrifice—stepping in between the danger and your people.To protect your people is one of the five proofs of leadership.

More talk on Christian Parker, Kane McCutchen joins the show to talk all things Texas Rangers, and Fair or Foul.
I am so honored to be joined on the podcast by my teacher Cyndi Lee. As a senior yoga teacher, author, and Buddhist chaplain—Cyndi talks to us about what's being gained, lost, and misunderstood as artificial intelligence enters yoga, writing, and teaching spaces. Cyndi reflects on her five decades of practice and teaching. As the founder of Om Yoga Center in New York City, a global hub for yogis from 1998 to 2012, she has witnessed firsthand how yoga has shifted under the pressures of capitalism, scalability, and speed. In this episode, you'll hear: a discussion of two growing trends: students using AI as a "yoga teacher" and yoga teachers using AI for emails, sequencing, and social media why Cyndi chooses not to use AI in her writing or teaching why lineage is vital—not as rigidity or hierarchy, but as continuity, care, and accountability a hopeful message for yoga teachers about the fast changes in our word Learn More From Cyndi: Follow Cyndi on Instagram Visit Cyndi's online home Follow Cyndi on Substack: Drip, Drip, Drip OfferingTree is a proud sponsor of this episode, and I am honored to be an affiliate.

On Marriage: PART 2Nic launches the conversation with an important question: “How do you keep someone as big of a deal like me coming home?” He claims getting that asked a lot.Nic and Tarina have been married for 25 years. One thing they agree contributes to their success is they like each other. They choose each other and pursue one another every day.They admit this isn't magic. They act on showing love—bridging the knowing-doing gap on a daily basis. And when they experienced areas which needed improvement, they sought outside counsel. They did this in their tenth year of marriage.One thing they've learned is to share their individual expectations with each other, especially when they travel together. This reduces possible frustration and disappointment. And they share insights with one another—things they notice about themselves, how they raise their personal awareness and communicating this with the family.They cover a number of important best practices, so grab a notebook and pen.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

According to Tarina, Nic has a “pretty” bald head. And the week Nic was on the road, the Bittle compound experienced peace and quiet.In this episode, Nic and Tarina talk about both: what to look for in a mate and how to be a good mate. Answer the questions: What traits do you want your future spouse to have? What traits are they looking for in you?Nic asks, “Are you the person, or trying to become the person, to be the person they want?” Said another way—Nic doesn't pull any punches—quit training to be a loser and make something of yourself and become the person someone you want would be attracted to.Tarina adds, “You can't have high standards of the person you want to marry, but have no standards for yourself.”If you're dating, be deliberate and find someone with similar values and makes similar decisions. Unity on basic core values should stay the same.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

In my almost three decades as a psychotherapist, I've seen passive-aggressive anger quietly destroy more relationships than infidelity. It's a slow drip of poison. And most of us don't even realize we're doing it. Do you ever say you're fine when you're not? Use sarcasm to let someone know you're pissed off instead of just saying it? Or are you ever on the receiving end of these behaviors? If you've done it or been on the receiving end of it, welcome to being a human in relationships with other people. On this episode of The Terri Cole Show, we are going to discuss passive-aggressive anger. Why we do it, what it looks like, and what we can do instead.

Nic asks Tarina about her new wardrobe item: a “dickie.” Tarina claims it's a “collar bib.” And, of course, it's bedazzled. Christmas was good and enjoyable—cherishing time with friends and family.In this episode, Nic and Tarina don't talk about new year resolutions. One question Nic is struggling with as he look at 2026: Is this the year he slows down a bit?In this episode they talk about being more intentional in 2026.Tarina talks about how she has already started to saying more often what she thinks/feels, like picking up the phone and thanking people or writing a quick note. It's about being deliberate in doing what you think—the power of a kind wordAs Tarina points out, this level of intentional kindness takes courage for some people, especially when you admire someone. The reality is everyone, no matter who they are, appreciates being shown kindness.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Nic and Tarina are nearly ready for Christmas—especially Tarina, who loves both receiving and giving presents. Nic shares about his latest return trip home and how he got a splinter from a Starbucks stir stick. And they shout out to Chris who loves the podcast.In this episode, they talk about conflict: the difference between venting and complaining. Venting is relieving pressure—getting something off your chest. Complaining is expecting a fix. Conflict happens is when someone is venting and we think they are complaining or the opposite.When you complain it is because you want something fixed. Tarina often complains—like about how her computer isn't working right. When you vent it's because you want to be heard. Nic often vents—he just needs to Tarina listen about the ache in his shoulder.Together they discover that Nic is more people focused and Tarina is more task focused. This influences how they each approach venting versus complaining. Tarina wants things fixed and Nic will listen to discover.As Nic and Tarina wisely observe our job is to listen without judgment. This doesn't erase tension in the moment but can lead to better and more caring resolutions.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

In the years following Jeffrey Epstein's death, the value of his estate steadily eroded as it became the focal point of mounting legal pressure and survivor claims. Multiple lawsuits, including the U.S. Virgin Islands' civil action and a wave of individual suits brought by survivors, triggered enormous legal expenses that quickly began draining estate resources. At the same time, the creation of the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program authorized substantial payouts to hundreds of claimants, committing large sums of money early in the process. Although the estate was initially reported to hold hundreds of millions of dollars on paper, that figure proved highly misleading once legal fees, settlements, and administrative costs were factored in.Compounding the drain were asset liquidity problems and prolonged litigation that limited the estate's ability to convert property into cash without steep losses. High-profile assets such as Little St. James failed to sell at their initial inflated valuations, while ongoing disputes over financial disclosures further slowed the process. Critics noted that the estate repeatedly emphasized dwindling funds when resisting discovery or additional claims, even as significant sums continued flowing to lawyers, accountants, and administrators. By the time major litigation phases concluded, Epstein's once-massive fortune had been substantially reduced, leaving a bitter contrast between how aggressively the estate defended itself and how quickly its resources evaporated once forced to confront real accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nic kicks off with a story about flying during the government shutdown. And Tarina bought Nic a new towel—which he claims takes him 8 minutes to collect black fuzz; it's like drying off with a trash bag.Tarina has a question for listeners: If you have a budget for a present, and you pay significantly less that regular retail, do you buy two of the item? Is it about how much you spend or about the gift itself?In this episode, Tarina picks up where she left off with explaining her PAUSE before the Holidays method. The acronym Tarina created for herself is PAUSE. P is for Pray. A is for Aerobic. U is for understand. S is for Sit. E is for Express.When we seek to Understand the people's perspective, it is most likely coming from a good place. As Nic says, “We often judge others by their behaviors and judge ourselves by our intentions.”To sit, as Tarina explains, means to take time for yourself. If there is something meaningful to work through, time the time to sit with the emotions, environment, or anticipation of the experience.The PAUSE idea is designed to give you a practical framework for approaching the holidays with grace and power.Email info@nicbittle.com to receive a “pretty big deal” Christmas card from Nic and Tarina.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Tarina defends how the Monday before Black Friday is Black Friday. Nic confirms she doesn't need a sale to shop. He also confesses: “I can't park. I can back up a trailer.” As Tarina has pointed out more than once, “So, you're going to park into the garage crooked?”In this episode Tarina sets up the conversation with a question: How do we prepare for the holidays to be kind, generous, and not cause a fuss?To help, Tarina created an acronym: PAUSE. Pray, Aerobics, Understand, Sit, Express. She created it to give herself pause before meeting with different personalities in what could be stressful times over the holidays.Tarina points out that PAUSE takes time—in order to be the best person we can be. Nic puts it in his own words that to Pray means to go vertical to God before going horizontal with people.“A” for Aerobics means to move your body especially in nature. It lowers your blood pressure and releases endorphins. And it's something you can even do in real time—calm starts in the body and so does stress.Listen to next week's episode to hear part 2 of PAUSE.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

It's unseasonably warm in Oklahoma as Nic and Tarina record the episode. Tarina reports that Nic is trying to rebuild her computer. Evidently she has 32,800 high-definition photos and over 2000 videos on her computer—"which may be why it's running a little slow.” (Nic uses the voice.)Nic meets a guy who carries human tissue to the airport every day. When Nic asked, the guy said the heads go in smaller boxes—now he can't sleep.Shifting gears means the struggle we all experience when going through life transitions. Kids go through transition every six months or so. Parenting has its own transitions when the kids go from child to teenager.Nic brings up how some parents don't shift gears—they fight their kids' battles. He shares the example of how a mom called an employer after her 21-year-old son got fired.Transitions are hard. Nic and Tarina will be empty nesters soon, so they are preparing for how they will shift gears. They are having lots of honest conversations together and asking, “What does empty nesting look like?”In the construction world, there are journeymen who become a foreman, but they never step up and actually lead. The new gear means what got you here won't get you there. It's a shift in mindset to being the best journeyman to being a great boss.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Wondering which NFL games are the most consequential in Week 12? Well, so did we. So with the help of the amazing Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated we created a Top Five list. (He also weighs in on the Ja'Marr Chase spit debate. TLDR: Dad of newborns don't flinch.) We also have Mike Ryan Ruiz join in to provide insight into the uniforms of the AFC East. It's a division that's lost its way. There's some Shadeur Sander chat, too. But the spiciest debate happens when we decide who is best Transformer. (Soup says Grimlock. But do The Dinobots count?)
