Tyler Woerner started his company in 2007. He called it Pixelbrush. It was a website company that designed, built and maintained websites. By 2016, Tyler had learned that he had actually started, and was trying to run, three companies. It turns out that website design, website building, and website maintenance are three very different businesses. And when you get successful, they require three very different types of people to run them. So Tyler pivoted. Now Pixelbrush is three different companies. Daysite. Eight Hats. And a new alignment with an existing company, Bizzuka. Christiaan Mader is a talented Lafayette-based writer and journalist. You’ve probably read Christiaan’s work in IND Magazine and in A-Biz. 2017 had already been a big year for Christiaan. He won the Louisiana Press Association’s Freedom of Information Award - the highest prize that the association confers - and he was named Managing Editor of a new magazine called The Current. Then, later in 2017, the company that owned IND magazine, Abiz, and The Current went out of business. Leaving Christiaan more or less pivoting in the wind. Being a print journalist in the 21st Century is not for the faint of heart.
