Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any chance these podcasts are transcribed somewhere?

SyneRyder answered for me, so I'll just say "thanks for asking"! Sometimes I wonder if anyone is actually reading those things, and now I know.

I'm not a deaf programmer, but I know a surprising number of them! It's a pretty solid career choice for deaf people, considering 98% of the job is doable without being able to hear anything. Thanks for doing transcripts :)

Great episode! I know that when I focused my business and really only targeted one kind of client, my revenue went up. My monthly recurring revenue 10X in just 6 months.

10x is craaaaazy. I mean, unless you were only making like $500/month before. And I know that's not the case! :)

You know, I'm so dense sometimes. When I started doing transcripts, I was thinking "SEO", not "deaf people". Duh!

>It's a pretty solid career choice for deaf people, considering 98% of the job is doable without being able to hear anything.

Never thought of it that way before. I bet it makes open-plan offices tolerable, too. Hmm.

Hey! Interviewer here. This is my recent talk with Connie Holen, who is kind of a badass - how many web designers do you know who are former fighter pilots? O_O Anyway. Connie is pretty cool and she figured out some useful things about running a freelancing/consulting biz. If you want to chat about the episode or have any questions, I'll be around. Hope you find this useful. Thanks!

I really wanted to subscribe to this podcast in my RSS reader, it was a nice episode! Unfortunately, I could find no way to download the audio and my usual use of podcasts is to listen during a commute when I have unreliable internet. Without the ability to download it is unlikely I will continue to listen. There's even a link on the 100kfreelancing site that says "download mp3" but it doesn't work and just links again to the streaming web player.

Nice catch! I fat-fingered the download link.

It's been fixed now, feel free to download. If you want to save the click of going to 100kfreelancing.com first, here it is:

Thanks for pointing that out, I would have missed it.
