003: Content Curation And Promotion With Mike Cheng

When I discovered Snip.ly, I thought it was such a cool tool that I reached out to the company. And I’m so glad I did, because it led to this fantastic conversation with Mike Cheng — which I really hope is just the first of many exchanges.

Mike is a designer by trade and an entrepreneur at heart — and his work at Snip.ly really allows him to combine those two passions. But where Mike really excels is in understanding people. He interacts with his users daily and constantly strives to deliver an exceptional user experience.
