“I didn't have a choice because I was a WordPress script kiddie, then Nomad List started taking off so I needed to learn to code while something was taking off. If I would have said, "Okay guys I'm going to take six months off to go to this React Javascript Core Bootcamp and then I'll rewrite the whole website." Come on, it would be gone, so I didn't have any choice. The constraints are important.”

“This took a few months but I remember the first week of Nomad List launching I got an email from Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress.com, at least, and he said, "Can we sponsor the website?" I said sure, so he was sending me a few thousand dollars a month. Immediately that started making money as well, so now I had memberships, a basic sponsorship, so now I was at maybe $3,000/month and it was great.”
