A few weeks back, I did my first Anti-Sell talk in a long while. It was for The Indie List, a freelance marketplace site in Ireland. I wanted to mention it and share it on here because it covered a lot of ground – not just what’s in the book, but also some stuff that only appears on this blog, and also I believe some other stuff that doesn’t appear in either.

It’s time for another Anti-Sell Story! (You can see previous Stories here on the blog and/or in the book!) This time we have Alexis Charkiw (or “Lex” for short). Lex and I live locally (South Wales) and both know each other through Welsh ICE, the coworking space and startup hub based just outside Cardiff.
