Erik Hanberg’s presentation was really informative. Talking
about entrepreneurship is always great, but seeing someone’s journey through
starting a business and the ups and downs of trying to build wealth. The most
interesting aspect was how he used writing novels as a form of passive income.
I have always thought of passive income as interest and dividends but never
writing a book and allowing it to bring in regular, somewhat unpredictable,
income. It is definitely something I will keep in mind, as I work towards financial
independence.
I wish Erik would have spoken more in depth about his work
with Exit133, as I am a big fan of their website. I was born and raised in
Tacoma, so I would like to one day be involved with a project that helps
connect the area the way Exit133 does. Suite133 was a really cool idea, as we
move towards more remote type work, I think that is a basis for a new type of
office space. This was not exactly the goal of Suite133, but I think one day
there could be a similar concept.
In conclusion, I found Erik's presentation to be really inspirational. Starting my own business seems like a daunting task and Erik humanized it. He showed us that you can go through ups and downs and still be successful through events such as the 2008 recession. He was a great speaker and I look forward to reading some of his books.
