This week I talked to Adam Elmore about his career - from funded startups, to high-paying freelance gigs for startups using AWS. Adam has EVERY certification AWS offers and has done a ton of freelancing in the AWS (serverless) space. He knows stuff about things!

Unofficial co-host Aaron Francis comes by again! We take turns talking about our stuff. I talk about Chipper & the final pricing decision I made (sorry Dan!), and Aaron talks about changes made in Hammerstone, and how they're pushing forward to start selling the things!

Jason McCreary joins the show to talk about how Laravel Shift works, and how Jason thinks about his business. Shift started as a side project to help developers update their Laravel applications, and has grown to provide his full time income. In particular, the pricing model and features available (Shifts, Bench, etc) are very interesting!

At the end of the episode, we talk a little bit about personal finance and how we invest!

We start talking about Mat's company Summit. Matt (and Summit) was part of the first batch of the TinySeed accelerator. Chris knows about Matt (and Peter, from the last episode) through the Out of Beta podcast (which you should check out)!

Summit can help you model a process, giving you the abilities to simulate your business (or...anything) over time.

Chris and Matt then dive into Chipper CI, talking freemium and pricing strategy. Matt's very politely schools Chris in some business metrics he should have available to him to help make decisions.

Peter talks about pricing plans and freemium for reform.app. The main idea is that people using the product for free are actually paying by spreading brand awareness of Reform (the forms are branded)!

Chris talks about expanding Chipper CI usage by supporting open source, including giving unlimited builds to open source projects. We also discuss if it makes sense to have a lower pricing tier for Chipper.
