Indie Club - live podcast today and more!

By The Indie Club • Issue #5 • View online

But also more intiatives and more members!

As you know, we’ve changed our name from Freelance Talks to The Indie Club.

We want to showcase creators who are not making the front news today. Their stories are always incredibly inspiring and that’s what this week is about: Share the love.

#LivePodcast with Sutart de Ville today @ 6 pm

I’m super excited with tomorrow’s live episode.

Stuart’s story is the perfect example how dreams don’t come true overnight… you have to work hard and believe in them everyday.

And they’ll become true eventually.

He has been bootstrapping ZapPopPow an indie video Game studio for years now. Today, they are a +10 people team and will soon release a game on both PC and consoles!

We’ll cover his journey from starting as a freelancer 15 years ago to a business owner managing a remote team.

He’ll share the story on how ZapPopPow has been able to pay its employees even though they haven’t released the game just yet.

Our members make a difference:

You may have seen it, together with other members of the community we started out the Remote Heroes initiative. We’ve helped a couple of companies so far but I’m very glad to see some of our members are creating their own:

Cancelcorona.org by Tom Bloomfield. If you’re a UI, UX and/or Product designer and can volunteer a few hours a week, do reach out to him
TechStars Online Startup Weekend is focusing almost exclusively on healthcare and products that can make current covid context more livable. If you’d like to attend, please reach out on Slack

Milestone reached 🎉

We officially passed the 100 member threshold in our Slack. Although members growth is not something we’re obsessed with, it’s still nice.

Know anyone who should join us? Share this link with them!

If you managed to get all this way down here - thank you for your time! Looking forward to seeing you in the network (maybe tonight for our live?)

Cheers.
