"Write an interesting story, not a perfect
story." — Drew Houston
Drew Houston (@DrewHouston) is co-founder and CEO of Dropbox.
Since founding the company in 2007 with Arash Ferdowsi, Drew has
led the company's growth from a simple idea to a service used by
500 million people around the world.
Drew received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science from MIT in 2006. After graduating, he turned
his frustration with carrying USB drives and emailing files to
himself into a demo for what became Dropbox. Today Dropbox is one
of the world's leading business collaboration platforms, with 11
million paying subscribers and 1,800 employees across 12 global
offices.

This podcast is brought to you by
99designs, the global creative platform
that makes it easy for designers and clients to work together to
create designs they love. Its creative process has
become the go-to solution for businesses, agencies, and
individuals, and I have used it for years to help with display
advertising and illustrations and to rapid prototype the cover
for The Tao of Seneca. Whether your business needs a logo,
website design, business card, or anything you can imagine, check
out 99designs.
You can work with multiple designers at once to get a bunch of
different ideas, or hire the perfect designer for your project
based based on their style and industry specialization. It's
simple to review concepts and leave feedback so you'll end up
with a design that you're happy with. Click this link and

This podcast is also brought to you by
WordPress, my go-to platform for
24/7-supported, zero downtime blogging, writing online, creating
websites. I love it to bits, and the lead developer,
Matt Mullenweg, has appeared on this podcast many times.
Whether for personal use or business, you're in good company with
WordPress, which is used by The New Yorker, Jay
Z, Beyoncé, FiveThirtyEight, TechCrunch, TED, CNN, and Time, just
to name a few. A source at Google told me that WordPress offers
"the best out-of-the-box SEO imaginable," which is probably why
it runs nearly 30% of the Internet. Go to
WordPress.com/Tim to get 15% off your
