Episode notes
Conference Sparked Omar's Podcasting Journey
- Omar started podcasting because a conference (New Media Expo, 2012) inspired him to begin.
- That event was a catalyst even though it no longer exists.
Podcast Show London Is High Value
- If podcasting matters to you, attend The Podcast Show London for broad, forward-looking content and practical networking.
- Tickets are affordable (~£200–£300) and the best moments often happen informally over coffee or lunch.
MicroConf For Bootstrapped Software Founders
- If you build SaaS or bootstrap software, attend MicroConf for focused tracks, a strong community, and a single main track format.
- Use the hallway track and built-in free time to form deep relationships and follow-up opportunities.
