About the episode:
In this episode, we’re chatting with Mubashar Iqbal aka Mubs. To put it modestly, Mubs is one of the most prolific side hustlers I’ve ever met.
He was recently named Product Hunt’s Maker of the Year for 2016, and now has 46 total side projects he’s launched on Product Hunt.
As a software developer by trade, Mubs side projects are earning him around $10,000/mo and he’s pretty much always working on something new.
The week we recorded this interview, he had just launched a new side project called Will Robots Take My Job—and it received nearly 2 MILLION page views within the first few days of going live. In our interview today, we dig into how that happened in real-time while Mubs was in the middle of it.
