My thoughts & lessons learned on startups, entrepreneurship, marketing and other stuff.

A Brief Story About Me in the Financial Post


I recently completed an interview with Rick Spence at the Financial Post about startups, my background, blogging, etc. It was a lot of fun and the end result can be found here:

A standout among movers and shakers

As much as I appreciate that title, I think the subtitle is more relevant, Learning curve of a tech blogger turned CEO.

Of course the learning curve is endless – and so it should be. If you stop learning stuff while on the job, I’d say you’re in trouble.

Rick asked me a lot of interesting questions and we had a great chat. We covered some of my history as a software / Web entrepreneur, how and why I got into blogging (it was entirely strategic), and a brief overview of Standout Jobs, how it was born and the lessons learned. Standout Jobs has been around for about one and a half years and it’s been a period of insane learning and growth for me. One would hope (and expect!) that not to change.

  • Congrats on the press. Of course the learning curve is endless and it something I have sometimes struggled to find time in my daily schedule, though I realize it's neccessary. If you can commit 30 minutes of your work day into educating yourself on some of the latest technology trends, it could prove to be the key ingredient to growing your business.
