SmugMug’s story is Chicken Soup for the Soul
My heroes are entrepreneurs. I went to work for NeXT years ago because Steve Jobs was CEO and I wanted to live what I’d read in the books.
What could be more exciting than building Cold Stone (yum!) from scratch?
Never did I imagine that our story would end up alongside the stories of my heroes in a book like the Chicken Soup series.
We’ve been so busy pouring our hearts into SmugMug and doing the right thing for customers, we hardly had time to stop and write about it. But I’m really glad the other entrepreneurs in this great little book did, because their stories are fascinating.
To any SmugMuggers interested in knowing more about how the company started than you can find on our about us page, send email to help at smugmug dot com with your address and we’ll fire off a free copy.

That sure is one way to promote a book. I look forward to finishing it. [...]

Phenomenal…
Really.
As a guy who has sold most of his companies before their 3rd birthday, I applaud you and your team, Chris.
In fact as I’m reading your blog posts and getting the overall gestalt of who you folks are, I’m humbled. You folks are the real thing. The entrepreneurs living on passion, Starbucks and Wired (yes, both the magazine AND the energy drink).
Keep it up. You’re what brings us back to the reason we are crafting blog posts and making new friends at midnight…
I’m going to ask for a “free” copy, but will happily pay.
Best to your continued success,
Mark Alan Effinger
