Episode 39 of the PodLeaders show - 32 mins 41 secs
My guest on the show this week is D.L. Byron. Byron is an inventor, author, the Principal of Textura Design, now he is evangelising Standards-based design.
An entrepreneur and an inventor, he also consults with clients, co-founded the Blog Business Summit, and publishes a network of successful blogs, including Boeing’s (one of the first business blogs).
Byron and I had a fascinating discussion on topics as diverse as Boeing, book writing, and business blogging strategies.
Here are all the questions I asked Byron along with their times during the interview:
