Simon runs SnapShooter, a service that performs scheduled server backups. We discuss:
* why backups is NOT a dull business
* why Simon charged his first customer just $2/month - and quickly learned to charge much more
* how the pandemic pushed him to make the jump to full-time
* a "I did a rm -rf on the wrong server" story

I'm the guest on my own podcast! A year ago, Ben Pages joined my company, Feature Upvote, to be our marketing manager. Ben had questions about the early days of Feature Upvote, and how this product came to be. He also wanted to know the origin of my low-stress approach to running a business. We thought, why keep this conversation to ourselves? Why not record it as a podcast interview, and share it with you? And that is exactly what we did for this episode.
