Back in August 2012, about a year ago, I interviewed this guy who said, “Andrew, I failed before. Things weren’t going for me, and then I found a way that worked.” It wasn’t an overnight success but it worked. And I interviewed him about it.

The entrepreneur is Sam Ovens and he’s a student of The Foundation. His company is called SnapInspect and he had this process where he found his potential customer’s pain, he figured out how to solve it, and then he just bootstrapped a solution for them.

The reason I wanted to invite Sam back, is to see where he is now, a year after he found this process. It wasn’t easy back then. It still wasn’t easy after the interview, but I want to hear how he grew the company.
