So I gave a little talk at the Full Stack Business Builder Conference. Basically a conference for entrepreneurs, VCs, technologists, aspiring entrepreneurs. I gave a talk yesterday. Actually, it was more of a Q<unk>A where the moderator, Peter Saddington, asked me questions, but also took questions from the audience. And

A big concern for many people was what if I have no qualifications at what I'm interested in doing? And I have to admit, I've probably never been qualified for anything I've ever done. And I kind of described how that actually has helped me. to achieve certain goals and ambitions of mine, even though I had no qualifications. So I talk about that.

I also talk about, you know, how it's important the importance of obsession. Let's call it rational obsession and how to find those things that you're passionate about. And then among other things, I talked about one, let's call it a quasi-religious belief that I hold near and dear to myself, that I basically attribute all my success do what success there is so i hope you have as much fun listening to this as i did talking about it i definitely have some some new and and interesting stories and also new experiences that i wanted to share and here it is this isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host this is the james alteger show By the way, well here's another thing you can do.
