Joining us is friend and colleague Keir Whitaker. Keir works at Shopify as their Designer Advocate. Like us, he's also had a lot of side projects.

    3. lessons learned
  3. Using Shopify to launch an MVP and validate a side
    4. project.
  4. How despite all the advances in technology, good business
