Derek Young (THE DUDE FROM EXIT 133)

Derek Young is the man behind the hyper local blog Exit 133. I found his speech very interesting! I never knew there was so much work developing a blog and when he says he has put 20- 30 thousand into it i was a little shocked. I think the way Derek makes his living is awesome. I want to have many little business projects bringing in income like he does so I do not get tired with one job. The way he lives his life gives him open opportunities in and allows him to follow whatever path my come his way.

One thing that confused me was how his seasonal view project worked. I got very confused and did not know exactly what its function was. I saw that it helped other companies with their communication without the entire company. The idea of being able to work from anywhere in the world seemed pretty cool, I think it’s great how they have specialists that are in other states doing work for them. It would be awesome working for someone else in another state and having a paycheck come in the mail. But whatever it was it seemed innovative and successful.

When it comes to asking the guest speakers questions I have asked 4 mainly because I knew you were watching for it. This is honestly the first class i have ever taken where you have to put effort into getting your question answered. This could be because these speakers are so interesting people actually have questions they want answered.
