Hey, my name is Charlie

Over 5 years ago, on a bit of a whim, I began streaming myself working on projects, live on Twitch.

Doing so changed my life, and I think it could change yours, too.

Before I started streaming, I was struggling to work on my projects
😴

I worked on my projects inconsistently

🎭

I was held back by my crippling perfectionism

I struggled to finish my projects, and never shipped them

2018
I kicked off my first stream, with a green scarf tied to a washing line as the green screen
It wasn't long before my indie hacking journey radically changed
🚀

My ability to stay focused and work consistently skyrocketed

🤝

I connected with & received support from countless brilliant folks

🌱

I built a community of peers and friends in which we all grew together

2023
Today, I’m very lucky to be able to ship things alongside an active and highly supportive community

FAQ

Questions? Trepidations? Concerns?
  • 📸

    What if I’m not good on camera?

    Streaming with a camera isn’t a requirement; many successful Software & Game Dev streamers do so without a camera.

  • 🎥

    What if I don’t have the budget for all the equipment I need?

    You don’t need fancy equipment to get started—for reference, all I had was an ancient MacBook Pro and a green scarf. What’s more, a list of equipment recommendations for different budgets is included in the course, as well as a resource.

  • What if I can’t stream all the time?

    Streaming doesn’t require a full time commitment, instead you can work around a schedule that works for you.

  • 🧾

    What if it’s not for me, and I want a refund?

    If you decide that the course isn’t for you, you’re welcome to reach out for a 100% refund within 7 days of completion.
