Max Seelemann is one of the founders and developers of Ulysses, one of my favorite Mac and iOS apps. I am excited to talk to him today because it is a different perspective on the software developing process. Ulysses is software I use nearly every day to write up show notes, scripts, articles, and more. I was keen to hear how they built it and the decisions they made throughout the 15 years(!) of development. Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://medium.com/@maxseelemann">Max Seeleman</a></li><li><a href="https://ulysses.app/">Ulysses</a></li><li><a href="https://www.relay.fm/">Relay.fm</a></li><li><a href="https://appstories.net/">AppStories</a> / <a href="https://www.macstories.net/">MacStories</a></li></ul>Question of the week: What app do you use it for writing?

Planning and Producing a Virtual Event with Brian Richards

Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone.

When you're a solo business owner, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.

But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, parts of your business can run without you. That's what gets you your time back, and gives you the freedom to take a real break. And the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.

Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.

Every week, one clear idea to help you get your time back without hiring a team...or selling your soul to AI. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
