#100 – From Aspiring Billionaire to Indie Hacker with Sahil Lavingia of Gumroad

After leaving his post as employee #2 at Pinterest, a teenage Sahil Lavingia (@shl) raised millions in funding from high-profile Silicon Valley to build a unicorn startup that could change the world — Gumroad. Today he lives in tiny Provo, Utah, spends much of his time learning to write and oil paint, and runs Gumroad as an indie business with the goal of making himself happier. In this episode we talk about what happened in between, and the lessons Sahil learned that can help every indie hacker create better lives for themselves by building more "successful" businesses.Transcript, speaker information, and more: https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/100-sahil-lavingia-of-gumroad
