I know, you may be thinking, “Yeah, right. You can tell that from an interview?” My response? “Yes, I think I can.” But, don’t take my word for it, watch the video interview and see for yourself!

In 2006 Dan Norris started a web design company because he was bored with the corporate world (after 4 whole years!). He worked on that business for 6 years with a lot of ups and downs and in 2012 decided to sell it and move on to Inform.ly.
