And by focusing on these two areas, Iâve been able to scale my company to more than 20,000 customers in 90 countries without a sales team. Before jumping on the no-sales train, though, I think itâs essential you first understand why Iâve developed this philosophy.  Putting customers on the same...

Every now and then, a recurring tweet shows up in my timeline. It will be someone complaining about being asked to speak for free at events and doing it âfor the exposure.â These complaints usually get a lot of support in the form of likes, retweets, and people replying âYou should NEVER speak for free!â I donât agree at all. Thatâs why Iâd like to offer a different perspective on... Read more âș

Reddit user Leopeva64-2 spotted an option in the Canary build version of Chrome that... Read more âș

Plastics are very useful materials. Theyâve contributed significant benefits to modern society.

Packaging alone was responsible for 46% out of 340 million tonnes of plastic waste generated globally in 2018. Although plastic recycling has increased significantly in recent years, most plastics used today are single-use, non-recyclable and non-biodegradable. The demand for food will... Read more âș
