Lenny Rachitsky, age 42, has created several winning projects.
In 2019, he launched Lenny’s Newsletter about product management. It’s grown to have over 570,000 subscribers and earns more than $500,000 a year.
Rachitsky puts in 10 to 20 hours each week on a single article.
In 2022, he added Lenny’s Podcast to his work. It puts out two episodes a week with interviews from product management pros, offering hands-on, helpful advice.
Rachitsky, who works around four to five hours a week on the podcast, has a producer to help with things like audio editing. This project also brings in over $500,000 annually.
Rachitsky’s key piece of advice for those aiming for success in their ventures, particularly in areas that build professional skills, is to gain lots of experience in that field first.
