Welcome to this week's episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm your host, Rob Walling.

0:04.0

This week, I talk with Helen Riles about the 42 side projects that she's launched over the past 10 years,

0:11.8

and we dig into the no code movement, which I know what it is. And like you, I probably have a concept in my mind,

0:18.9

but I wanted to speak with someone who's knee deep

0:21.6

in the no code movement and find out how she thinks about it. But before we get into that, I wanted

0:26.8

to tell you about something we've launched with microconf on air. And what it is is we're going

0:33.8

1:33.3

microcomph. We have close to 200 of them. So we have a lot of content to release that you can,

1:39.7

you know, you can listen to via audio. So you don't have to sit and watch a video because I struggle

1:44.1

to watch

1:44.7
