Inside the Email Infrastructure of High-Growth Companies

In this episode of the Develop Yourself Podcast, I talk with three email and growth experts about something most developers overlook: email as a serious money maker.

I’m joined by:

Mike, founder of Seventh Sense, an AI-powered email timing platform
Boris, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Educative, one of the largest developer learning platforms
Doug, CEO of Optimize 3.0, a HubSpot Diamond Partner agency

We dig into:

How AI is reshaping email marketing
Why email is still the most reliable channel you can own
The biggest email marketing mistakes that founders and developers make
What it actually takes to build a product that sells—not just one that works
And real advice for developers who want to turn skills into a business
