Hi there and welcome to Speaking of Products, the site that helps people who are looking to start or grow their own product-based business.

After years of running my own companies providing services in tech product development, tech project management and general business admin, I decided to pivot and focus on products.

I launched Speaking of Products in 2020. For years up to that point, I had been listening-in and following-on with the stories, blogs and podcasts created by folks in the self-funded startup (a.k.a. bootstrap) space. I wanted to join in as well as give something back.

The goal of Speaking of Products is to be a source of ideas, experiences, resources and community for people looking to start or grow a product-based business.

Come along for the ride as I take the journey of starting and growing a product-based business.

You'll hear about the thinking behind my decisions, the challenges I face, what it takes to make it a reality, the highs, the lows and the lessons-learned

Speaking of Products is produced by Dan Miller, lover of people creating awesome stuff, on an adventure to encourage and share solutions that make the world a better place.

There are a few simple philosophies that Dan abides by…

“Have fun in everything you do, continuously improve by challenging yourself to bigger and better things, learn-by-doing, help others to improve themselves, and give back at least as much as the world provides you”.
