These projects are...

Clipps
The goal of that project is to make it a podcast listening and discovery tool that will allow users the ability to create and share their favorite audio clips in a particular podcast episode.

Vivid.fm
Is a tool that generates an audiogram video of a provided audio clip for easy sharing of audio to social networks. Clipps will integrate closely with Vivid, allowing users to share their audio clips to their social networks.

Caster Community
A community of podcasters, and builders in the podcasting space, who are looking to network, learn more about the industry, and get a better overall understanding of the art of podcasting.

My first podcasting episode...


Follow my journey as I balance life as a full-time software engineer at a tech startup, with that internal entrepreneurial passion that drives me to spend my nights and weekends building side projects for podcasters.

This first episode is a quick background story to get me started. I knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but I also knew I just needed to get something out there. I opened the audio recording app on my cell phone and just started talking.

Next episode I'll dive deeper into my project and we'll dive deeper into the challenges I face. Thanks for listening!
