Trevor Page was on a great path in life: he did well in school, got a degree, and landed a comfortable high-paying 9-5 job. Trevor followed the formula, and followed the herd. He was employed as a Senior Software Engineer in Toronto, Canada and had a very promising future in his corporate career. But then something unexpected happened in June of 2012: Trevor discovered the “podcast”. Listening on his long commute to work, he learned that there’s a whole world of people out there who have built their own successful companies on the Internet, and had done it single handedly. Once Trevor learned about the “solopreneur”, he quit his job, and in October of 2012 he began his journey.
