IndieRails

Wale Olaleye of Rails Fever joins IndieRails to talk about what it really takes to build a consulting business. The conversation spans everything from refining your message and brand, “I help founders with tech so they can focus on operations", to embracing marketing, sales, and networking as essential skills, not dirty words.

Wale, Jess, and Jeremy swap stories about outreach experiments, co-working spaces, local events, and the power of being visible in your own community. They explore how generosity, trust, and consistency can replace aggressive sales tactics, and why treating your freelance work like a business, not just a job, is the path to longevity.

It’s an honest and encouraging look at how independent Rails developers can build meaningful, profitable work by combining technical excellence with human connection.
