22 Years Online… and One CEO Wanted Me to Destroy a Competitor.
It’s been a ride — like a rollercoaster designed by a bipolar sadist. 😅
Back in 2003, Betty and I left the airline industry and jumped into online work. We went from building websites and earning through affiliate marketing to consulting for corporations.
Over the years, we worked from RVs, hacked WiFi from a police station in Idaho (true story), and got asked by a Calgary CEO if I’d wage digital war against his rivals (that story’s in the post).
And now, at nearly 62, it feels like the perfect time to teach others what we’ve learned — right here in Saskatoon.
➡️ I just published a story that covers:
-
The wild early days of online work
-
A tribute to one of my earliest mentors
-
Some dark corners of the SEO world
-
And how it all led to starting an in-person web design school

I’d love your thoughts in the comments.
Hope summer’s treating you well 🌞
