We’ve learned over the years on this show that being a part of a community of like-minded people is one of the most valuable experiences that you can have as an entrepreneur.

This was our core motivation for forming The Dynamite Circle, our own online community of location-independent entrepreneurs, back in 2011.

We originally built that community on a platform called Ning, largely because it was the best option on the market at the time, and it served us well for many years.

This week’s episode is full of so many recurring themes that we’ve seen over the years on this podcast, from the unique struggles that SaaS businesses face, to the decision between bootstrapping and funding, and much more.

Derrick Reimer has had a long and storied career as a software entrepreneur, but he is perhaps best known as the technical co-founder of Drip, which he built alongside our good friend and former guest Rob Walling.

We’ve shared a lot of stories on this podcast from entrepreneurs who have started their own businesses, but one strategy we’ve increasingly seen to accelerate the path to wealth is to purchase a business that already exists and to leverage debt to do so.

Today’s guest is an expert at that.

Shakil Prasla has been acquiring businesses through his company SZ Ventures for nearly a decade.

This week’s podcast is a little bit out of the ordinary.

While we have been busier than ever this month over at Dynamite Jobs, we still can’t help but find things on the internet to get worked up about.

We thought it would be fun to take a look at five specific news items and ideas that have recently come across our desk that we just can’t stop thinking about.

Welcome back to another episode in our long-running series The Re-Readables, where we revisit some of our favorite business books to find out if they stand the test of time.

How to Get Rich was written in 2009 by author and entrepreneur Felix Dennis.

Felix was the founder of Maxim magazine, and he aimed to create a book about getting rich from “someone who didn’t need to write it”. The result is incredibly funny, direct, and thought-provoking.
