Michele Hansen update: Section 174 and bootstrapping with kids

In this podcast episode, Michele Hansen (Geocodio) gives us an
update on Section 174 and provides her take on "bootstrapping
with kids."


Michele explains you can be a part of the Small Software Business
Alliance, and fight Section 174. If you're in the USA, please
contact Congress!


In the second half of the episode, Justin and Michele talk about
the challenges of balancing starting a business while you have
young kids. For more on this topic, check out the last episode
