We’re 3+ months into a one-year experiment on getting grants as an income stream. Despite Pat’s aggressively organized approach, we’ve both had some sobering experiences and demonstrated some self-defeating behavior. Join us to find out what obstacles we’ve encountered: some perhaps systemic, some personal, and all (dare we say) solvable?
