A Brief Story About Me in the Financial Post

September 16, 2008 by Ben Yoskovitz

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.
