That Entrepreneur Show The Coder's Compulsion: Building a Business Over a Decade with Chris Argo
What does it take to launch a startup when you're "late to the entrepreneurial game"? This week on That Entrepreneur Show, we're joined by Chris Argo, a software veteran with over 30 years in the industry. After decades of giving his creativity to others, Chris was laid off and decided to turn a 10-year-long nights-and-weekends project into his life's work.
In this episode, Chris shares his unique journey developing Buynow.io, a platform he has built almost entirely by himself. We’ll discuss the shift from being a developer to becoming a full-fledged entrepreneur, and how his background—from writing software on punch cards to working on IBM mini computers—informs his approach to business.
Chris opens up about the compulsion to succeed, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and why he believes his 'Buynow, do good' slogan gives his company a fighting chance in a crowded market.
This is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who believes that patience, persistence, and a little bit of creative obsession can lead to a breakthrough, no matter where you are in your career.
