394: Taylor Otwell — The (Quite Entrepreneurial) Creator of Laravel

Taylor Otwell (@taylorotwell) didn't just create the popular open-source framework Laravel. He turned it into a highly profitable business that helps developers build profitable businesses themselves. Few other open-source devs have such a clear understanding of market needs AND developer requirements. Taylor shares his approach to monetizing freely available code, how he intentionally built an ecosystem of free and paid-for tooling, and where the Laravel journey will go.
