In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview a very, very, special friend, Christopher Wink, Co-founder and CEO of Technical.ly.Chris discussed his upbringing in a rural corner of Northwest New Jersey, which lacked exposure to technology and entrepreneurship. Despite not coming from a family with a background in journalism or entrepreneurship, Chris shared how his parents' traits—his father's ability to talk to anyone and his mother's love of questions—fostered his interest in journalism. His journey into journalism began unexpectedly during his time at Temple University, where he was introduced to the college newspaper. This experience ignited his passion for journalism and provided a foundation for his entrepreneurial pursuits.Chris explained the origins of Technical.ly, a digital news outlet covering the intersection of technology, community, and business. Technical.ly began in late 2008 as a small project with two friends, conceived during a time of uncertainty as they realized traditional newspaper jobs were becoming scarce post-recession. Although Chris downplayed the initial risks involved, he acknowledged that the real entrepreneurial challenges and risks came later as the business grew. He emphasized that the true spirit of entrepreneurship lies in the mental and emotional commitment to building something meaningful, even when practical circumstances are less than ideal. Witness how Christopher Wink turned curiosity into impact, transforming ideas into the next big thing in journalism on this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:Technical.lyhttp://technical.lyChristopher Wink's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherwink/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Christopher Wink is the Publisher and CEO of Technically Media, which publishes local tech news network Technical.ly and nonprofit news site Generocity.org. He’s a lead organizer of Philly Tech Week and Baltimore Innovation Week, and in 2017 Folio magazine listed him as one of the 100 most innovative media leaders in the country. In this episode, you’ll hear how in 2008, right as the economy collapsed, Technically started as a tech blog between 3 friends who were looking to get experience in an industry that wasn’t hiring. Chris will share how they would weather the storm, and how over the past 10 years they’ve built a company that not only reports but also offers events, conferences, and a hiring platform. And, we’ll dive into the mindset of an entrepreneur, and how the line between huge success and catastrophic failure is often invisible. Support Philly Who?

Technical.ly has a singularly focused mission: Better Cities Through Technology.  Founder Christopher Wink, along with his co-founder Brian Kirk, have been keeping true to that mission since they founded the media company after graduating from Temple University in 2008.  Their story is unique (Philly Mag recently covered Wink and Kirk here) in that they’ve approached the creation of their media company with an almost rigid journalistic integrity.  They push no agenda other than to edify the communities that they cover.   In my brief conversation with Chris we discussed how he and Kirk have managed to stick to their mission, the balancing act they sometimes have to play with their advertisers, how they have worked tirelessly to build a staff that shares their values, and how they are continuously experimenting with new methods that add greater value to their readers in a way that strengthens communities.    Take 30 minutes and listen to what Chris has to say, and be sure to check out their work at technical.ly.
