There are a lot of people that said Jeff should have done this or Jeff could have done that. I'm aware of everything I could have done to make money but didn't. Because I didn't want to. Yes I wanted to make this thing self-sustainable while helping me to pay the bills but the ways in which I tried to do that didn't work. However, after everything is said and done, the best outcome that could have ever happened to me, did. Someone is paying me to do what I enjoy without ever having to worry about advertising or generating that next buck. I wouldn't trade my experience for the world. However, I also find my situation to be extremely lucky as this sort of thing doesn't happen to very many people.

As I mentioned in my interview, I had some ideas around a WP type magazine but it certainly wasn't going to be in print but Ryan proved there was demand for it. He also shocked me by creating a WPCandy specific iPhone app which people paid for. He was definitely more outgoing and bit of a risk taker than I was. There is a huge difference between idea and reality. I was pretty good in the idea department but terrible when it came to reality.
