In the third session of the Cubicle Renegade Podcast I chat with Chris Guillebeau, author of the new book, The $100 Startup, and the blog The Art of Non-Conformity.
We discuss why becoming an entrepreneur doesn’t need to cost a ton or have you looking for outside investors. Startups can be created by anyone at anytime.

I just read the book and had a hard time putting it down. I really wish I had the time to attend this years summit but better luck next year. Lots of great ideas in the book and I can’t wait to check out the other people and their sites that are mentioned in the book. I also wish he was coming to the Chicago area.
Looking forward to future interviews from you as you always provisde quality info.
Thanks and have a great week.
Thanks Paul for the kind words. Hope you enjoy this episode.
Hey Paul,
I’m glad you enjoyed his book too. Yeah, it doesn’t look like he is making it to Chicago at all. :/
Great info!. Chris is always really inspiring.

Thanks Roseann. Looks like iTunes hadn’t updated the feed yet.
The link doesn’t work for me and only the first 2 podcasts seem to be on itunes…. feel like I’m wasting my time.
Sorry about that Kaxxina. The episode is embedded now.
Thank you!
