June Swatzell, from OrganicNearby | EP#02 | No-Code Explorers with Daniel Weinmann
One of the special dispositions we respect the most in founders is this: to be unstoppable. Although what this means exactly will vary from context to context, generally it shows when someone is driven by purpose. We all have to reroute from time to time, but we shouldn’t lose track of our dreams.
Well, that is something that becomes amazingly clear when you meet June Swatzell.
At the beginning of 2020, June launched OrganicNearby. Its mission is to make healthy and safe food available to consumers at large, connecting them with farmers, local producers, and providers. But June had almost no technical skills to pull that off. What she had was her tireless disposition, which drove her to dive into the startup community many years before to learn the way of things and to create meaningful connections that made her dream closer to becoming reality.
And, after trying to do it with regular coding, she made it all happen with #nocode. Check out the chat she had with our CEO, Daniel Weinmann, to know all about it!
