If you read the title and though, "No" - no worries, this post is not for you :)
That said, if you read the title and thought, "Hmm. Maybe," then this post might be for you.
Here's the deal: I'd like to start a podcast/mastermind with someone in a similar boat to me (fully bootstrapped, solo SAAS founder). The purpose of the pod would primarily be to share ideas, commiserate, and talk through the ups and downs of trying to grow a bootstrapped SAAS, as someone in their mid-life (late 30s to early 50s).
Working title: Midlife CriSAAS
Pod would operate more similar to a mastermind than a shoot-the-shit, "how's the fam," kind of show. Thus, we'd focus mostly on the business side of things, give each other suggestions and hold each other accountable. It will also be to get vulnerable when necessary about the real fears and struggles of what it takes to wear a thousand hats while putting food on the table.

Thanks!
This sounds like a really thoughtful and refreshing concept! Midlife CriSAAS is a clever name, and the mastermind-style format feels like it could add real value for founders in that stage — not just another casual chat, but structured accountability mixed with honest vulnerability.
I like that you’re aiming to balance strategy talk with the human side of solo SaaS building. That mix is often missing in founder content, yet it’s exactly what makes people feel less alone on the journey.
Your call for a co-host who’s also bootstrapped and midlife makes a lot of sense — shared context means better conversations and insights. If you get the right partner, this could resonate strongly with listeners in a similar boat.
And on a side note, I really like how your approach reminds me of the way a qurantajweedteacher.com guides students: structured learning, accountability, and openness to mistakes — all while keeping it supportive and meaningful.
Best of luck finding your co-host — I think you’re onto something special here.
Wow, thanks for this completely worthless and rubbish AI generated comment! What a total waste of tokens that was, contributing absolutely nothing to the community as well.
Your comment inspired me to think about how much more offensive AI generated spam is than in the old days, when you only waste one or two seconds of someone’s time, now you’re wasting 15 to 30 seconds of someone’s time before they realize it. Thanks for that and hope your quran teaching business fails!
Ya the project never really took off. You can see that post was from 2 years ago
