I'm Ebullient to be kicking off the first movement of what will be a glorious symphony of “Interviews With Inspiring Dudes And Chicks” with a VERY special guest.
He happens to be one of the smartest people I know and a man who thinks and acts from a core of deep conviction and authenticity:
My good friend Casey Ayers.
(For those of you who are curious, I used ECAMM's skype video capture software to record this video)
Follow Casey on Twitter!
Casey's Website: http://www.caseyayers.com
Casey's Company Website: http://www.megatonapps.com
Casey is founder and app development director of Megaton Apps, where he leads the conception and production of iPhone and iPad apps.
Casey runs his business from a mangrove in the Florida wetlands, where he dines mostly on water moccasins killed with his capable pianists' hands.
Actually, he's based in Jacksonville, Florida – BUT he claims he could run his business from the moon (more on location independence in the video).
If you're even thinking about thinking about starting your own business, whether as a solopreneur or doing something more traditional, this video is full of nuggets of wisdom that you can use.
On a personal note:
Casey and his wonderful family gave me a place to stay when I flew back from months of galavanting around Central America with just enough money to fly home (and not a sheckel more!)
Thanks Ayers'!
Truly a caring human being and totally unpretentious, Casey is a pleasure to speak with and learn from and is a certifiably inspiring Dude.
