So we started Keap to make candles better: a return to a pure product made with the best materials available—nothing more, nothing less. Well almost! We saw one thing missing: maki ...

Player FM

Making podcasts cool again with Player FM. I started this because I feel that spoken-word audio is far behind music, video, and print in terms of online adoption. In an era of connected phones, cars, and wearables, there should be better ways to stay informed than listening to whatever your local radio station happens to be playing right now.

Prior to this and after leaving google, I performed developer relations consulting and built a Node-based developer tool, Faviconist.com.

(The company's official name is Nuvomondo Ltd; Player FM is a registered trademark.)
