Indie startups and the shit I learn in therapy

Updated January 23, 2026.

I just moved to Mexico City! I'm here for at least 3 months to work on my Spanish and live abroad again.

Right now I'm spending the next month testing a new product called Slackletter, that automatically creates marketing newsletters from Slack.

I'm also still working with Austin on building MetaMonster - the SEO automation tool that helps local SEO agencies quickly optimize the fundamentals for their clients.

To pay the bills I still do work with early stage AI startups as a fractional CMO.

At this point ChartJuice is pretty much dead, but maybe with how good AI has gotten I'll eventually spin it out into a totally free tool and see if it gets any traction that way.

I try to write at least one blog post a month here about what I'm learning from both my own work and my consulting work. I send it out along with several other recommended reads in a monthly newsletter that I call Founder Tonic.
