Linchpin meetups were launched with much fanfare earlier in the year and they got a great response.  Megan Elizabeth Morris and a few other cool folks turned their meetup into a bonefied “shipping authority” that is birthing new art that will change the world. From a rooftop in Austin, Texas they’re connecting, helping, shipping and encouraging. Hear how they started, how they stuck together and what their community became. Other show stuff: Shipping authority - Critical mass to get stuff done. The best kind of networking groups. More about passionate people sharing than people sharing passions.

You can't be an artist unless you ship and Justin Lukasavige ships. I met Justin almost 2 years ago when I hired him to be my business coach. Now we're great friends so I invited him to talk about his experience ignoring the rules so he can do the right thing and how he helps people change their lives through building businesses.

Jason Pamental left his job and one year later was invited to speak at the Future of Web Design Conference .  He got connected to our community by a mutual friend, bought Linchpin and then he did what it talks about; he shipped.  You can hear his list of things he's shipped in the show (they include fixing a Subaru and redesigning his own site). Jason talks about how he left his past jobs to start his solopreneur career, being a Linchpin husband & dad and we tackle a few of his favorite passages from the book.  The lizard brain told me to make this interview shorter but I didn't listen to him.  Whether you listen to the whole episode or not I think you'll be inspired to ship and blessed to get to know Jason.
