AGL 185: Average Joe with Shawn Livermore
About Shawn
Shawn Livermore is a tech startup founder, entrepreneur, and technology consultant for over 20 years. He’s written books on software development and writes software in at least ten different programming languages. After raising investment capital for his startups six times, Shawn began to look beyond the code to see the bigger picture— systems, patterns, and mental models that most deserve our attention. Instead of hype and hustle, Shawn focuses on tangible, factual, and replicable bits and bytes that most people wouldn’t see or pay attention to. From small fragments, Shawn assembles larger stories, and helps people think, speak, and create like a tech genius.
