008: Financial transparency

Why don’t people share financial numbers? In this twenty-minute audio essay I delve into some of the reasons why people are afraid to be financially transparent, and why I’ve chosen to ignore those reasons in favor of exposing my revenue numbers (and why you should too). 

Show Notes

Sacha Grief – one of the people who’s inspired me most to start publishing books and be transparent about the process.
Jarrod Drysdale – a great designer and one of the inspirations behind my design books.
The App Design Handbook launch – here’s the blog post I published where I revealed all my launch numbers – and got accused of bragging as a result :-D 

Want to try something fun? Leave a comment below with a financial number you’re comfortable sharing. It could be anything from your latte budget to how much your most recent product launch made!
