Episode notes

I was number two at a company called scribe media who did your book. Scribe now sponsors this podcast. Huge fan of theirs very, very interesting company and learned a lot there. And then when I left, I actually thought I was going to farm. But I had this blog and I was like, I would prefer to not draw my savings down to do that business. So scaled the blog up a bit, got it to a self-sustaining level.
