Listen Later

On this episode of saaslife.fm, Sam Schrup and Chris McAleenan celebrate a couple milestones - Chris’s 40th birthday and the one-year anniversary of TextRetailer. 

It’s been a full year since Sam registered the TextRetailer.com domain name, he started coding last November, and the first paying customer came in May. Chris encourages Sam to do a year in review to indicate commits and other milestones. 

Highlights from this Episode:

  • Where did Sam hope to be by now with TextRetailer? Further than Textiful.
  • Textiful vs. TextRetailer: Different projects, products, potential for growth/revenue.
  • Sam’s Scope Creep: Build bigger product with better understanding of problem.
  • Growing Pains: Hire, onboard, and transfer knowledge to focus on founder tasks.
  • Founder Feelgoods: What doesn’t feel good - less money in Chris’ bank account.
  • Chris’ Customer Expectations: All need core product but different needs/features.
