Listen Later

Milly Tamati is not your usual founder. She lives on an remote island off Scotland with a population of just 170 people, previously co-owned a hostel in Thailand, co-founded a wine-tour in Australia and founded an illustration-agency in the UK. Now she’s working on a community called generalist.world, where’s she’s helping generalists like us indie hackers, find like minded individuals and jobs that fit us well.

What we covered in this episode:

  • Living on a remote island with 170 people
  • Remote life vs city life
  • Being isolated when not in a city
  • Embracing communities
  • Milly’s crazy career journey
  • Getting a customer in 12 hours
  • Testing your product before you launch
  • Why generalists aren’t valued in the world
  • Growing to 850 community members in a few months
  • How to cultivate community

My favourite community has just got a significant upgrade as it rebrands to Ramen Club, the best community to help you get to Ramen Profitability.


Ramen club has 4 remote coworking sessions a week, masterminds, accountability calls, live AMAs, a fractional CFO, in-house VA, discounts and so much more. But most of all, the founder Charlie has done a wonderful job at cultivating a wonderfully friendly and supportive community.
