職話直說｜成為自由工作者必備 7 項技能

近年來，拜行動網路與視訊會議軟體像是 Google Hangout 這類服務的成本下降之賜，以及在國際大城市的交通壅塞、房價與生活品質問題日益嚴重的推波助瀾之下，遠端工作漸漸成為許多人追求的生活風格。在這些選擇遠端工作的族群當中，又可分為在家工作者與數位遊牧工作者兩大類型。

數位遊牧民族的誕生：科技、商業與旅行

算算正式成為數位遊民到現在也快一年了，一開始決定要走向這條路的時候其實還是充滿掙扎的，有得到就一定有失去，相對於自由來說失去的就是安穩，某種程度上來說也可以說失去了歸屬，畢竟大部分的人還是習慣在一個有可以實體碰面交談的環境裡面生活，像我們這樣大部分時間都只能對著螢幕打字或是說話的應該還是少數。

道德浪人—數位遊牧的浪漫與掙扎

這個命題大概從我去泰國的第一個禮拜就一直出現在我心裡面了，在近三個禮拜的時間裡面一直在我腦海裡面盤旋不去，於是就決定發揮了在軍中當輔導長時練就的情報技能，來了解貧窮的樣貌。


貧窮的界線

有些時候人們把新創公司比喻成火箭船，事實上是一個很好的形容方式，火箭船最重要的目標是達到脫離速度，因此控制火箭船的速度與加速度是非常重要的事情，不過火箭船與新創公司有一點截然不同在於，火箭船會不斷拋下燃料桶減輕重量，而新創公司會需要增加管理的複雜度與專業分工而變得臃腫

Startup Grind Global Conference 2019

About the session:
A Fireside chat with Steve Blank, Author of The Four Steps to Epiphany, who talks about How to Keep Your Job as Your Company Grows. Interviewed by JD Schramm, Lecturer at Stanford University.

About the speakers:
Entrepreneur-turned-educator, Steve Blank is the Father of Modern Entrepreneurship.  Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement, he’s changed how startups are built; how entrepreneurship is taught; how science is commercialized, and how companies and the government innovate.

Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany, The Startup Owner’s Manual - and his May 2013 Harvard Business Review cover story defined the Lean Startup movement. 

He teaches at Stanford, Columbia, Berkeley and NYU; and created the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps -- now the standard for science commercialization in the U.S. His Hacking for Defense class at Stanford is revolutionizing how the U.S. defense and intelligence community can deploy innovation with speed and urgency, and its sister class, Hacking for Diplomacy, is doing the same for foreign affairs challenges managed by the U.S. State Department.

JD Schramm loves working with entrepreneurs and executives to communicate more effectively. A TED speaker and coach he's worked with a wide range of individuals and teams on their pitches. Since 2007 he's been doing this at Stanford's Graduate School of Business.  In 2018 he also accepted a faculty appointment with Columbia where he's leading their new effort to establish a West Coast presence.

How to Keep Your Job As Your Company Grows - Steve Blank + JD Schramm

「人們用不會淹死你的雲霄飛車來比喻創業，你不會一直下沉，在低落之後會是上升。」
這句話來自Paul Graham的How Not to Die一文，中文翻譯可以看這裡，我想看起來這句話會就這樣跟著我一輩子了
