Running A Business From A Sailboat

Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Who hasn't dreamed of leaving behind the 9 to 5 office job and going exploring, be it by sailboat, backpack, or another means. What if you could do both, working and exploring at the same time? In this session, Tag1 Consulting Founding Partner, Jeremy Andrews, talks about how he runs a successful Drupal company from a sailboat.

- Working With Smart People
- Coffee Shop Internet, (Smart) Cell Phones, and Hotels
