It was very disappointing reading how the author found credible podcasts, books and people to follow, only to recommend nothing and leave the reader wondering about this mysterious information.

If you are trying to bootstrap, try microconf talks on youtube.[1] Good signal/noise ratio. I still find good informative talks.

If you find a speaker on microconf interesting, follow their talks on other channels.

Newsletters I find useful:

Author here - Sorry about that. Since I haven't been much of a success, I didn't think people would be interested in my recommendations. But here are a few that I found really helpful:

Indie Hacker Podcast (the forum on the site was also a great resource for me): https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast

How I Built This Podcast: https://www.npr.org/series/490248027/how-i-built-this

Stacking the Bricks: https://stackingthebricks.com/

Books: The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris, The E-myth by Michael Gerber, Running Lean by Ash Maurya

As the other posted said, any resources provided by MicroConf are also great. Basically look up their videos on YouTube and follow all of their speakers on Twitter or subscribe to their newsletters.

Nice list. I find the book "company of one" to be quite interesting (although somehow it's less popular in tech community): https://www.amazon.com/Company-One-Staying-Small-Business/
