Chris Hedgecock comes from the world of online marketing. As a kid he taught himself to program. While still a teenager, he landed his first job with Microsoft and then was part of the pre-IPO team at MP3.com. After the tech bubble burst, Chris took his skills as a programmer and applied them to building new online projects, some that bombed and some that skyrocketed. He mastered search engine optimization as a marketing tool to start making money off his side gigs. You’ll hear how Chris’ story covers a broad spectrum of life and business, and he goes into detail with us about a few of his past projects, including the story of how he drove a ‘74 Pontiac LeMans cross-country and ended up on dozens of local TV broadcasts.
Chris later spent over three years as the Director of Audience Development at CBS Interactive, where he ran some of biggest websites in the world. He’s been an investor, and has four exits to his name, so Chris has real credentials. Sure, he could probably drive a sports car, and flash his success.
But, his grand talent is living the opt-out life: whether it’s coaching his boys little league, or walking across the street to read a book in their classroom. And he does this routine every day, getting from home to his office without touching a freeway. As we’ll hear, that is entirely by design. Let’s listen to Chris’ story.
