Both guests we had today were awesome! Mike made us laugh and Billy brought in HOT Krispy Kreme doughnuts. (Hint: If you would like to be on Gravity Free Radio as a guest, feel free to bribe us with doughnuts.)

Mike is best known as The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur and is the author of a book by the same name. His book, website, and blog are great resources for entrepreneurs and small business owners.  The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur philosophy is based on the notion that not only can one start a business with fewer resources (his analogy being a near-empty roll of toilet paper that you have to work with), but that having fewer resources can actually work to your benefit. For example, having fewer resources can force the business to address an issue in highly innovative ways versus simply spending money blindly to solve it.  Great free advice from Mike at the end of the interview.

Next up was Billy Hoffman from Zoompf.  Given Billy’s high energy and personality, it’s no wonder that he created a company that helps makes websites faster.  Zoom + Oompf was the inspiration for the name which we love.  According to the Zoompf website, here’s what Zoompf does:

“Zoompf analyzes your entire web application for over 150 performance deficiencies. Zoompf detects a wide range of performance problems, from the obvious (like HTTP compression and caching) to the advanced (like CSS rule issues, web font issues, WordPress and other applications), and Zoompf even identifies performance issues with Flash and Silverlight and Ajax.”

We couldn’t have said it better.

Definitely two very informative guests.  Download the podcast and get some great advice from both guests!
