This week on Story Signals I’m excited to be speaking with Ryan Delk. Ryan is the head of Growth and Business Development at Gumroad, a payment platform that helps entrepreneurs, artists, and writers share their work with fans. He shares his journey from the University of Florida, to Africa, then Square, and now San Francisco and Gumroad.
We talk about his first entrepreneurial venture in 5th grade, and what he did after a client told him Gumroad looked like an online flea market. What I thought was the most unique piece of advice, Ryan shares how we can set ourselves apart in a job search, whether at startup or established company.
