About this episode

Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with Daniel Walter Scott, who runs a very successful online course business as well as a newer SaaS business (that's software as a service). Last week we got into the details of online courses, and in this episode we'll focus on Daniel's journey as an entrepreneur - why he feels like it has taken him a long time to build his business, the surprises when he later started a software company, plus advice for hiring well and why he publishes his revenue numbers publicly. I hope you'll enjoy this interview as much as I did.
