Description
Jack McDade is the creator of Statamic, a content management system for Laravel. He’s been running it since 2012 and making a few million a year with a team of 6. But what I love about Jack is how he approaches all of his projects, including Statamic, to just be different. There is so much cookie cutter content out there and everything just ends up looking the same - but not if Jack has anything to do with it. Just take a look at his personal website, his Radical Design course and Icons and you’ll see what I mean. I love it.? Join the Indie Bites membership here.Timestamps:
