About this episode

In today’s episode, we have Samantha Wong and Luannie Dang from Pory, a platform that helps you create beautiful web applications using Airtable.

Sam and Luannie are on the show today because they have been working on Pory for just a couple of months, having launched right smack in the middle of a global pandemic. What started as a side project quickly turned into side hustle.

Their business is growing rapidly thanks to the no-code movement growing steadily during the lockdowns and socially responsible distancing. I guess it’s during these times when we’re becoming resourceful in finding ways to earn money.
