#3: $100 Startup, with Chris Guillebeau

In the third session of the Cubicle Renegade Podcast I chat with Chris Guillebeau, author of the new book, The $100 Startup, and the blog The Art of Non-Conformity. We discuss why becoming an entrepreneur doesn't need to cost a ton or have you looking for outside investors. Startups can be created by anyone at anytime.
