Ep. 116, No Laughing Matter

Kurt Iverson is featured in Episode #116 of Underserved. Kurt offered to build a website for a budding comedian in exchange for free show tickets. While not a great monetary deal, the experience and connections ended up paying huge dividends. Kurt parlayed this into development gigs for interactive firms, The Federal Reserve, and Garmin. We talk deploying with Disney, user empathy, and George Brett.   Links: www.survivormitzvah.org – dear Hollywood friends that are on a mission to help Holocaust survivors and all those suffering from the effects of war www.billburr.com – one of my oldest friends in comedy and someone who kills it and inspires me everyday https://omd.uk.com – The band that inspired me to get into music and is the soundtrack of my life and nights https://open.spotify.com/album/2xt8Y4BXkEdVR975Squ2QI - Dink and I wrote a lot of music together and he was a genius with harmony and melody.
