That’s a good observation. Perhaps if the panel had more “product makers”, it would have been more diverse. For example, Ryan even said his approach towards DropSend is much different than his approach to his other ventures. (Heck, DropSend is for sale.)

The panelists had a ton of heart and soul put into their businesses, and the businesses often relied on them. I mean… take Tara & Chris out of Citizen Agency and all you have is a name. Where if you take Ryan out of DropSend, you still have a codebase.

Thanks for the notes. I was about to write this up myself.

I did think that this talk could have had more of a spread of appeal – the speakers were very much talking about how to start up a lifestyle business rather than looking at how you could make something which would continue to make money with ‘you’ taken out of the equation. I was hoping for more along those lines…
