    Freelance Friday 044 – March 1 2019

    by

    Well the snow appears to mostly be melting in Chilliwack. My biggest issue with snow is that it reduces the mobility of so many of the people in town. At our last house I’d end up giving rides to people who couldn’t walk to get groceries or drop people off at work that couldn’t ride…

  • Yes I’d get a job

    by

    This is a great post from Steve Campbell following his journey from leaving his corporate job to starting something on his own. To pivoting, to running out of money and time to make it work.
