Growing up in an entrepreneurial home, Shelby Stephens felt enabled to pursue his own projects. He was brought up appreciating science and art, and studied engineering in College. After working for NASA, he decided to venture out onto his own, pursuing a new venture with his friend, doing video production work for hire. Fast forward 15 years, he and his co-founder are serving the production and project worker space by building Jolly – a social and professional network, designed for gig workers, providing reputation portability, connection opportunities and a marketplace to find work.Today’s sponsors:Dwolla (https://dwolla.com/codestory)Hackbright Academy (https://hackbrightacademy.com/)Linkshttps://jollyhq.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/shelbystephens/https://www.dwolla.comhttps://www.dwolla.com/updates/jollyfms-paying-freelancers-through-the-ach-network/https://www.nfx.com/Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts! Amazing tools we use: If you want the best publishing platform for your podcast, with amazing support & people – use Transistor.fm.Want to record your remote interviews with class?
