cloudPWR

It inst just about being a programmer. This Wednesday we had a guest Shadrach White, is the CEO and founder at cloudPR. The product AIRLIFT® is a, “a mission to simplify complex organizations adopt cloud based solution” (https://www.cloudpwr.com/company/). They are a software company that’s goal is to create a software that is easy to use and that users will enjoy using. White goes on to explain that he built his company off of bootstrapping. A technique that requires no funding and money was only acquired through White saving money. White talks about working in retail and other labor intensive jobs, he discovered it wasn’t what he wanted to do with his life so, he went out and followed his dreams. White shares with the class his struggles and success with creating the site. He shares information about his employees and how he went from this little idea to a massive website and company and how they are growing more and more each and every year. He finishes with telling the class “don’t take your education for granted”. Which I also believe is very important. White himself went to a two-year technical school and graduated with a GED at seventeen. He was an interesting, funny, and inspiring guest speaker.
