About this episode

Liam's journey into the tech world is nothing short of fascinating. Starting in LA as a bus driver to pay for college tuition, he ventured into the world of startups after moving to France and starting a blog about the local startup scene. His journey began in 2011, and as he recalls, "I started a blog as a creative outlet," choosing the thematic colors of orange and black as the blog started in the spooky month of October. Little did he know that his creative outlet - Rude Baguette - would later become France's leading startup blog. As the blog quickly gained traction, he began exploring ways to better monetize the opportunity.
