Turning an internal email tool into a +$8k/mo SaaS

👋 Hey Failories! It's Nico over here.

Three new pieces of content today: an interview you must read if you're running or interested in SaaS; a review of my favorite business newsletter, Morning Brew; and the new Failory Podcast episode, with a founder who has a huge failure under his belt. 


I'm really happy to announce that this newsletter is sponsored by Bubble, a no-code tool I've personally used to build sites & apps. They are doing 2-month bootcamps explaining how to use their tool to build MVPs and validate your ideas quickly.
