Coaching update and the end of exploration phase

Author: Tim Abell October 28, 2021 Duration: 19:56

Tim Abell hosts Software Should be Free, a conversation grounded in the practical realities of technology and entrepreneurship. Joined at times by David Sheardown, the discussions move beyond abstract theory to focus on tangible solutions for the everyday challenges people face with their "computer things." The title isn't just a slogan; it's a starting point for exploring how freedom in software-whether through open-source models, transparent business practices, or simply reclaiming control over your own tools-can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes. You'll hear candid explorations of the intersection where code meets commerce, dissecting how businesses are built and run in the modern digital landscape. This isn't a lecture series; it's a problem-solving session where complex ideas in technology and business are broken down into actionable insights. The podcast actively invites listener participation, encouraging you to send in your own questions and dilemmas via voice message to shape the dialogue. Tune in for thoughtful, unscripted conversations that cut through the hype, offering a pragmatic perspective on creating and using technology that genuinely works for you.
