The methodical rebel
This episode I trailed the app Anchor which I really enjoy. I used my headphone mic to record so I do apologize for the scratchy sound in the beginning but it does clear up. This week I discuss me being a “rebel”, my risks in starting a business when I work in a great paying job, finding a cofounder, and how I’ve positioned myself for better success in the event of total failure.

A chat with Dom B
Today I have an interesting chat with Dom B from The Dom B Podcast. We tackle everything from Jam vs Jelly, how he moved from music to photography and podcasting, and how his passion drives him to work even harder than he did when photography and podcasting were just his side hustle. There are some great converstaions here and I was personally able to walk away with more knowledge and inspiration to keep going than I had before. Check it out! It is entertaining, funny, and informative. As usual, hit me up at justin@89websolutions.com if you would have a side hustle or have jumped in full time and would like to be featured on the show.

Passion! How I found it
What's up guys! Today I have been traveling so I am a little groggy but this topic seemed to important to not discuss. I get a little more personal this week and not so much around building a business or application. This week is more about my journey from being knocked down and being told you can't do it to a day ago where I had a moment of clarity and realized what I am meant to do...what my TRUE passion is.
