S1: E19 - "It's all about Serendipity As A Service" - Whit Anderson (Random Pizza)

This is a two-part episode. 

Whit Anderson is the maker of Random Pizza (RP). We are members of a weekly, NoCode meetup out of Atlanta. It's called Zero to One.  

Whit is a poetic maker because of his ability to give profound and renewed relevance to things that we take for granted - like getting a pleasant surprise. Random Pizza goes beyond the gimmick - feeding our innate desire to make and share lasting memories and experiences.

S1. E18 - "Your behavior is the interface. " - Chris Dancy and Armel Beaudry

We saved some audio from our jam session for Episode 12. On this tape, we discuss the human behavioral interface as well as coping with information and subscription overload. 

Chris Dancy (aka the Most Connected Man on Earth.") used a NoCode stack, comprising of Airtable, Zapier, and Nextdoor to build the COVID-19 Neighborhood Volunteer and Support System.

We also have Armel Beaudry from Trebble.FM. We discuss the impact of COVID-19; Chris' Habit Store for thriving in an environment of information overload; and using technology to become the best versions of ourselves.

This jam session was recorded in the last weeks of March, 2020, when New York City was declared as the US outbreak epicenter for COVID-19.

Airtable Resources

  • Airtable support for COVID-19 humanitarian groups - Airtable is making Airtable Pro available for free to any non-political humanitarian group that is working on COVID-19 relief efforts. If you run an Airtable supported project/business and have been hit hard by COVID-19, send an email to covid@airtable.com.
  • Project Showcase: Compiled resources/projects using Airtable to make a difference in local communities.

S1. E17 - "An interface for people to interact with everything" - Zammo

Voice as an input as well as an interface is considered by many to be the next frontier in human advancement. According to Voicebot, there are nearly 90 million US adults owning smart speakers. This adoption exceeds over a third of consumers with a compounded annual growth rate exceeding 30%, over the past three years.

In January 2020, I went to the Project  Voice conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Aside from discovering a lot about voice technology, devices, and conversational AI, I met some brilliant people shaping the future of this amazing interface. One memorable interaction I had, was with Stacey Kyler and Guy Tonye from Zammo.ai. Zammo is a great example of the rich fruits, born of voice technology and NoCode sensibility.

This episode wouldn't have been possible without Bradley Metrock, host of "This Week In Voice", and Executive Producer of the Project Voice series of conferences and experiences. Here is a link to register for the Project Voice 2021. I've also included a brief excerpt from Bradley's interview with  Mark Cuban, who gives some good advice on how to thrive in this nascent industry of voice. 

Zammo Demo - 10 mins. 

FYI - Guy is from Cameroon (b/w West and Central Africa). His name is French and is pronounced like the Gi you wear in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

S1: E14 - "The developer who can pull those two worlds together. " - Michael Gill

In this episode, we talk with Michael Gill - the Automation King. Gill is a software developer, a SaaS CTO, as well as a NoCode CTO. You may know him form his NoCode Coffee newslestter, but he is also in beta with Cuppa; and is set to release his highly anticipated e-book, Maker Minions on April 11, 2020. .
This interview with Gill is nothing less than a magician revealing the secrets behind the tricks they perform. For magicians, that sacrilegious, but in NoCode, that is highly encouraged. Gill does a great job bringing the best of both worlds, code and NoCode. Straddling the line of all that matters, which is effective product development that eliminates a customer's pain point.
He also gives kudos to some other awesome no-code makers who inspired him with their iterative MVP attitude.

S1: E12 - COVID-19 Response Template - "A new way of thinking." - Chris Dancy, David Peterson, and Armel Beaudry

In this episode, we dive into how makers are utilizing NoCode to help their neighborhoods respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris Dancy is known to many as “the Most Connected Man on Earth." However, this Houston, Texas maker is using NoCode to bring calm in the midst of chaos. He has used a NoCode stack comprising of Airtable, Zapier, and Nextdoor to build the COVID-19 Neighborhood Volunteer and Support System.

Chris has built the tool as a template to help his neighborhood as well as anyone trying to develop a localized response to the pandemic. Right now, you can actually copy and customize this template to suit your specific needs. 

We also have David Peterson from Airtable's London office, as well as Armel Beaudry from Trebble.FM. We discuss the impact of COVID-19; Chris' Habit Store for thriving in an environment of information overload; and using technology to become the best versions of ourselves. 

This episode was recorded about a week before the US government approved a $2 Trillion Stimulus Package to combat COVID-19. We also have video of this session, which we are to make available on our YouTube channel, so you can watch Chris' demo.

Chris Do is an Emmy award-winning creative and teacher who's been running a motion design and brand consultancy for over 23 years. He's on a 1 Billion Mission to teach other creatives how to value themselves and communicate that value to others. He also hosts the Futur podcast,
Chris' story and point of view have huge overlaps for creatives in any field, especially in NoCode, where clients only care about results. He has spent decades codifying what he doesn't know. I hope you gain something from an expert who is confident enough to be vulnerable about what he doesn't know.
Don't forget to follow the @NoCodeRumble and the 100DaysOfNoCode challenges. Nocode Rumble is a four-week challenge, where eight makers build products and compete for $8000 US. The #100DaysOfNoCode challenge asks you spend at least 30 mins a day for the next 100 days learning NoCode and tweet your daily progress.

"Even if you can code, it doesn't mean that you can't be a part of the no-code movement." - Nate Washington, CTO at Qoins.

Today's episode is a doubleheader because we have two guests on the show woven into a blended narrative on NoCode. Whether you're a newbie or a more experience user, there's definitely something to gain from Emmanuel Straschnov (@estraschnov) from Bubble, and Nate Washington (@nwashjr2) from Qoins.

We may be separated by distance, but we are connected through the web and the work that we do; and our actions create ripples that can impact more people in the most remarkable ways. In this episode, we're bringing those ripples full circle and giving you a little hint of some further waves happening in NoCode with Codeless Academy . Listen for an "Easter egg" on what CodeLess is planning in Atlanta. 

Speaking of waves in NoCode, you should definitely tune in to the @NoCodeRumble. It's the ultimate NoCode challenge where eight makers from around the world build products in just four weeks. $8000 is up for grabs - he biggest prize to date for a NoCode Challenge

And exclusive streetwear fashion. She's also a corporate warrior at Lambda school, a software development bootcamp. What's really interesting about our conversation is how she puts a spotlight on a segment of NoCode - corporate/B2B NoCode heroes - that I believe will drive massive adoption of the trend.
