Deep Work: Your Secret Weapon as a Bootstrapped COO
In this episode of The Bootstrapped Operator, Justin breaks down how Cal Newport’s concept of Deep Work can transform the way COOs operate inside lean, focused SaaS companies. You’ll learn what Deep Work is, why it matters more in bootstrapped businesses, and how to implement a simple system to get out of reactive chaos and into focused execution.
Justin shares how he uses 90-minute "Operator Hours" at BoomCloud to build systems, solve problems, and drive high-leverage outcomes — without adding hours to his week.
This episode is built for calm operators who want to lead with clarity, focus, and deliberate execution.
