Kickstarting In The Basement

I’m fascinated with technology. Especially when technology helps small businesses compete on nearly the same level as their larger competitors and peers. The goal with this series is to promote all the goodness of using free / low-cost technology pieces to help support and promote small businesses.

 

I met Roger on the soccer field. I can’t remember which group it was – we play all over the city (Harlem, Upper West Side, Indoors, Outdoors) – and I don’t remember how we actually met. But since then, we’ve met up with Roger and Carlin for birthdays, New Years Eve, World Cup Finals, Hot Sauce launches, and our favorite – movie nights. Nothing beats a night with food and wine, and one of Roger’s movies.

As an independent filmmaker, I thought he’d be an interesting person to learn how technology works in different organizations and industries.

Upper West Side: Meet Your Neighbor, Paul

Previous Chat: Adrian

 

I met Paul on the Upper West Side during one of our Work from Home meetings. What stood out about Paul was that he fit right in, as if we all had been pals for a very long time. He asks lots of the right questions and he’s in telecommunications via the Cable industry, both of which I’m a huge fan.

He seemed to be a great person to talk a bit more about the Upper West Side.

You can find Paul at his website and on Twitter (@psolly0108).

Upper West Side: Meet Your Neighbor, Adrian

I met Adrian on the Upper West Side at our first Work from Home meeting. I had been to Sydney a few times and London once (and was going shortly after we met), and it was great to hear some ‘local’ stories. Adrian has an entrepreneurial spirit along with one quality that ranks high above most anything else: He’s a fan of Liverpool Football Club.

After living in other cultural and cosmopolitan cities, I thought it’d be fun to find out a bit more.
