Ep.33 Fired, Then Founder: Greg & Becky Hile on Building QuoteRUSH From Scratch

And then we had our iterations of Quilt Rush that went through because it was just the basic at first.

It would just open up the browser and fill out the website.

And then, okay, now another one, now another one, now build another one, and then build all the form types out and the RCs.

And so we got all that done.

And then it became a, you know, I was doing support with somebody and I fixed their problem and uploaded the code.
