Martin is also one of those rare (in the Australian scene atleast) web veterans, having been previously involved in LookSmart, he is also chairman of Aconex, a successful document management service for construction, along with being a co-founder and now chief executive chairman of Red Bubble.
Martin is a great thinker and has some excellent advice for anyone involved in a start-up or community managment. We talk to him about how Red Bubble was formed, the importance of being passionate about the service you create, how to survive the current economic situation as a start-up and whether people are becoming more willing to pay for web services among other things.
We hope you enjoy the show, as this certainly is a valuable listen that you will learn from. Meanwhile go forth and innovate.
