Homesteading: The New Entrepreneurial Model
Many years ago a community would come together to help a neighbor get started. They'd all pitch in, knowing that when they needed help, those same friends would come to their aid as well. This model of community self-sufficiency has been recycled in the software world.
In this talk you'll learn how Matt is still using the homesteading model to build his consultancy, and how others are doing the same. You'll get enough of a grounding to move forward on your own, or help someone else while you learn more.
