Tweetable Quotes“The biggest thing [about freelancing] comes down to trust. And I think if you have an objective way to measure the goal that you want, then really the in-between doesn’t matter.” (15:14) (Rob)
“The biggest thing that drove me into app developing was actually two things. One, I read an article on Life Hacker that said this is our perfect to do list app. So, in my young brain I’m thinking, ‘Right, if I build this app, that’s the million dollar idea.’ I started to kinda learn app development from there. I didn’t really make a dent, but what it taught me was that I could do some of it.” (25:09) (Rob)
“I approached it [Coffee & Coding] pretty much the same way that I approach my apps, which is that I build stuff that I want. So I really wanted to listen to a show that was about app development but it wasn’t technical.” (30:39) (Rob)
“You want to get the best conversation from them. You want to get the best content for your guest. Personally, I want to have a great conversation. So, why would I ask you questions that I know the answer to?” (44:33) (Rob)
