About this listen

 Join me as I chat with Josh Pigford, who took an idea from Idea Browser, built a tool called NameSnag for finding expired domains, and sold it for $15,000 within eight days. The conversation explores Josh's rapid development process, including how he leveraged AI tools like Claude for naming and coding, created branding, and used Twitter to build momentum and find customers. Josh emphasizes the importance of shipping quickly rather than aiming for perfection.
