Today we talk to “internet famous” blogger Loren Sciurba, huge in Japan, and mastermind behind “The Time Bum”, to understand the stupid-simplicity of being a blogger, the stupid-simplicity of becoming a hit on Kickstarter, and how quickly he’d sell out, if only someone was buying.

Loren is co-founder/co-organizer of District Time, happening again this coming October 12th & 13th, to coincide with our next Microbrand University Workshop on October 10th & 11th.

Anyone interested in attending District Time, the MBU Workshop, or both can take advantage of our group rate. Be sure to book your hotel accommodations well in advance
