Interviews with interesting people
Although you might think he’s stuck in Fresno, Rob Walling actually lives there on purpose. From his home office that overlooks a Koi pond and waterfall, he runs 8–9 online businesses, and more are on the way. It’s not the money or the fame. Starting businesses is who he is.
Joe Pulizzi knows how content marketing can help your business. This is the story of an educated man who more than just book learnin’. He follows the example of John Deer: if you want to sell a plow, teach someone how to use it.
This the story of a boy from the Islands (St. Maarten to be precise) who grew up to teach biology and make money on the internet. Leslie Samuel started a site for his biology students (http://www.interactive-biology.com/). It became very popular and helped launch Leslie into more online ventures.
I don’t often use “effervescent” to describe someone but it’s the perfect term for Farnoosh Brock. She is refreshing, bubbly, and always in motion. This is the story of a girl forced to leave her homeland, her friends and even her pet dog. A two week holiday turned into a life-long adventure.
Pat Flynn often talks about making money. He has a blog, a podcast, an app (or several) and a website (or several), all centered on making money or telling you how to make money. But this interview is not about Pat’s businesses. It’s about him.
Designer, podcaster, entrepreneur and Texan (sort of), Adam Stacoviak loves his work. And that’s his best advice for you: find something that’s a passion for you. If you know what Rails, SAS, CSS and a bunch of other letter combos stand for, you’ll understand what he’s talking about. And even if you don’t know the terms, you’ll like Adam.
These days, Owen Stone hangs out a lot in New Jersey. But when he was a kid, he moved around a lot. Yet the instability of his childhood now makes it easy for him to pick up, go anywhere, meet new people and make friends. In the tech world, Owen is also known as Oh Doctah.
