David Aladdin: And today on the show, we got special guest, his name is Caleb Roth. Caleb is a purveyor of fine books which specializes on data and software. Welcome to the show. Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself?

Caleb Roth:  Yeah Dave thanks for having me in, I am coming to you live in Denver, Colorado. Actually my internal clock is way messed-up. I just got back last night from a week in Czech Republic visiting my brother and so I’m past asleep half way to our podcast. It’s not you, it’s me.

David Aladdin: Ahh, cool so.

Caleb Roth: Yeah, I’m in Denver, I have a website called the www.thebookflipper.com and I built a business kind of like you did, I quit my corporate job about a year and a half ago and built a lifestyle business at this point but I’m working in transitioning that more into a scale-able business where I can remove myself in to the equation.

David Aladdin: What are you doing before that?

Caleb Roth: I’ve worked in a medical device, I’ve worked for Johnson and Johnson Division doing hip and neuro replacements.

David Aladdin: Actually, by I play soccer I used soccer wraps a lot.

Caleb Roth: Nice.

David Aladdin: So, and then, what made you decide you wanted to switch over?

Caleb Roth: I’ve always been an entrepreneur, I’ve never really wanted to do the corporate thing but had an opportunity out of college you get that first job, you know, the internship at first, lasted for a year. They liked me, I didn’t have a great, you know, idea yet to go on my own and figured I’d learn while working for another company and that 1 year turn into about 5 years and a half actually, and got married just over 3 years ago now and the job was awesome. When I was a bachelor I got to travel the country, I was on the road probably 80 to 120 days a year all over the country even a few trips outside the country. So it was a great gig. But as I got married, it’s tough on the road a hundred days a year and be away from your wife.

David Aladdin: What did she say about you switching. . . switching into entrepreneurship life.

Caleb Roth: Well, she’s more the grounded one and I’m kind of the big idea guy. So I would have been like you did just to throw the towel and I love your story, you know, you went into your boss, negotiate a race and the next day came in and said I’m done, see yah. I didn’t quite go as aggressive as that if it’s just me I might have but with my wife, being more grounded, she’s like, Hey prove it and you know let’s built something on the side, and that so we said out to do and that’s what I share to my blog.
