Welcome back to The Ramen Club Podcast, where we talk to our community members about building startups without funding. 🍜

For episode 11, I spoke to my friend and long-time Ramen Club member, Henning Sanden (founder of Flipped Normals).

Henning is a Norwegian 3D artist who's worked on major movies like Pacific Rim, Venom, Alien: Covenant, Ghostbusters and much more.

He pivoted to creating CGI educational content and then eventually, with his co-founder, Flipped Normals: the #1 CGI marketplace for 3D artists, making $720k/year GMV (Gross Merchandise Value).

Henning shared great insights on building a business in the creative industry, the impact of AI on artists, and the importance of maintaining stability while pursuing creative ventures.
