In this week's episode of the Business of Laravel podcast, host Matt Stauffer talks with Caleb Porzio, a prominent figure in the Laravel community and the creator of Livewire and Alpine.js. Caleb shares his unconventional journey from being a self-proclaimed "terrible employee" (at Matt’s company!) to becoming a successful self-employed educator and entrepreneur through his company, Wireable LLC. He also shares insights into his strategies for turning open-source projects into sustainable businesses and building a dedicated audience through educational content and documentation sites related to the tool's niche.
