"Who you choose to be your developers is HUGE" - Ryan Hayden

We're going to walk through the process of building an app or software with Build Online, our development company. Today we cover the first step: the Blueprint Meeting. We get into defining the purpose of the software, outlining user stories, working through potential issues, and more. Let me know your thoughts and if you want to talk about your software idea drop me a note at [email protected] I'd love to hear from you!

Today's episode is a fun interview I got to have with Kris Levy - Wine enthusiast and founder of klevywineco.com where he curates wines for his club members and also takes the time to interview the vinters that made them. 
We dug into Kris' discovery of his wine passion and the importance of chasing that and finding a business model that will stand the test of time. 
Kris' journey has seen the ups and downs of having to learn the business skills necessary to create and launch a successful company after his first company failed. 

Enjoy!

Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Ian Peterman, founder of Peterman Design Firm.
We get into how folks can work with Ian and his team to turn an idea for a product into a real deliverable product. There's so much that goes into the process I had never thought about!
Things like being conscious of sustainability, market testing, sourcing, supply chain, marketing - this is the one-stop-shop for anyone who needs a project managed correctly.

Ian is also the author of Conscious Design - a brand new book on, well, conscious design! See the link below to go pick that up and connect with Ian on social.

Today we dive into an interview with my friend Pavan Sandhu, the ADU Dude!
Now, if you're anything like me, you don't know what ADU stands for, well, it's Accessory Dwelling Units. There's a surprising opportunity with waived taxes and other financial benefits to building a "tiny home" or "mother-in law suite" or even just outfit a garage to be a VRBO spot right on your property.
Pavan is operating his brick-and-mortar business in Sacramento, CA and moving his business online to serve a larger group of people interested in this field.
I learned a lot and I hope you will too!
