Welcome back to another episode of Small Market Startup, where I’m exploring the dichotomy between startup success and quality of life, with a specific focus on growing a business and living in a smaller market (like Bend, OR where I’m at now). This week I interviewed my friend Jason Wiener, Founder of Hyperdrive, currently the Vice President of Product and Engineering at Blueboard, and a friend to all startups and tech business in Central Oregon through his spot on the board of BendTECH.

Today we get into his history of building businesses, working for himself for 25 years, and turning himself from a marketing major into an incredibly technically proficient founder who has a passion for solving hard problems. We round out the episode by diving a bit into startup life here in Bend and how to make the best of every situation you may face on your journey.

Listen on for some awesome life lessons from someone who has been through so many changes in life and figured out a way to make the most of every challenge and opportunity that has come his way. I know I learned a lot and I hope you do to... Enjoy the show!
