It’s been a month since I’ve recorded, so I guess it's time to do it again! I’ve basically been gone for three weeks, so not a lot of big moves have been made over the past month The Stair Step Approach to Bootstrapping Rob Walling, from the podcast startups for the rest of us has talked a lot about the stairstep approach to bootstrapping The idea is that you start with smaller products, likely several of them... launch them or buy and grow them and move to bigger things and bigger proj...

009 - Dealing with the Ups and Downs of Web Design/Dev Freelancing - Two Years in the Making

May 27, 2022 21:10 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MB

I'm coming up on my two-year anniversary of going out on my own and running NodleStudios LLC full time. For some reason this time around has made me think some about the last couple of years, and some positives and negatives of working for myself. It also has me thinking about the future, and where I (and NodleStudios) are going. Join me for some reminiscing as well as some thoughts about the future as well.

008 - The First Six Months of Freelancing and Solo Floundering

November 28, 2020 03:25 - 20 minutes - 16.8 MB

Yes, you read that right… “floundering” was the word I used as opposed to “foundering.” I don’t know if I need to explain myself more than that or not, but it sure has felt like the last six months, since I’ve made the move to freelancing instead of being an employee, have been rather like “flopping along like a fish out of water.” It has been a while since I recorded, if I looked correctly the last episode was released on May the 29th. This episode is basically a “what have I bee...

007 - What Have I Done?

May 29, 2020 12:00 - 13 minutes - 18.8 MB

I haven’t recorded for a while. I’d apologize for that, but it simply hasn’t felt right to sit down and go on about myself and what I’m doing while the world continues to be bombarded by COVID-19 and all the things that come with that. So, why record an episode now? Because things are changing, and recently they changed in a fairly substantial way. Today is Friday, May 29th, and yesterday was officially my last day with the company I’ve been working for for the past 4 years or so....

006 - Strange Times are Here Questioning all the Things

March 20, 2020 18:30 - 7 minutes - 10.8 MB

The world is a strange place right now. Work continues almost normally, although I worked from home the entire week this week instead of the normal 2 days at home and 2 days in the office. As the US has been bracing for the impact of Covid-19 a number of things changed over the past week. My families farm is trying to understand how things might change as we head towards an earlier than normal PYO strawberry season. My church had our spring revivals from mid last week till mid th...

005 - Jumping Out of the Airplane Before the Parachute is Ready

March 13, 2020 20:00 - 14 minutes - 19.8 MB

Its Friday march the 13th. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has a fair bit on my mind right, as the US braces for the Coronavirus its difficult to focus on other things that suddenly feel a lot less important. I did want to record this episode today though because even though we’re in a bit of a strange time (yes that’s an understatement), life does continue to move forward. Even if it does feel like a parallel universe at times. I’ve not gotten a lot done on NodleStudios p...

004 - What Tech Stack Am I Using For Web App Projects?

February 28, 2020 16:30 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MB

Some things changed at work this week. Not ready to talk about them just yet, but they will affect my work on NodleStudios projects. It is Friday so I’m at home working through my list of tasks (in GoSelva) currently I’ve got 25 tasks remaining for today. Some of them will get pushed to tomorrow, others will get rescheduled to a future date. Some of them will get done. ## GoSelva - Not a lot is changing in GoSelva at the moment. I continue to use it on a daily basis to manage my l...

003 - How Do People Balance a Job & Building a SAAS at the Same Time?

February 19, 2020 11:00 - 8 minutes - 4.67 MB

Making some progress on GoSelva and OhPeso, but also feeling a tad overwhelmed with all of the things that have to happen in "normal life." Hoping to get OhPeso live in the next couple of weeks and continue to make progress on GoSelva.
