I first heard about Pete on the IndieHackers podcast. https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/143-pete-codes-of-no-cs-degree
At that point he was only 6 months in to his entrepreneurial journey. How many people have got on the IH podcast that quickly?
This was Pete's plan all along. He'd set himself the goal to get on the podcast, and he did it.

His product, http://nocsdegree.com , features interviews with self-taught developers.
He started it because he was looking for inspiration for his own journey towards learning to code.

In the podcast Pete openly talks about being inspired by @thepatwalls from http://starterstory.com .
Similarly, Pat Walls openly talks about being inspired by @IndieHackers.
Good entrepreneurs take inspiration from other great entrepreneurs, and talk about it.

Pete found a sponsor for his newsletter when it had only 50 subscribers.
How many of you would wait until you had 1000+? I know I would.

Pete follows in the footsteps of @levelsio and builds in the open.
Every month he tweets his successes and failures, and revenue numbers.
This generates interest in what he's doing. https://twitter.com/petecodes/status/1278286996197322762

I interviewed Pete for the @growth_lessons newsletter.
I learned:
- Don't be afraid to ask for things.
- Build and learn in the open.
- Be authentic and honest.
- Set targets that scare you.
- Keep trying new stuff. https://growthlessons.co/how-petecodes-went-from-doodling-logos-in-a-minimum-wage-job-to-earning-a-living-online-with-nocsdegree/
