Has anyone started a non tech related business before?
nate: This dude seems cool http://doejo.com/.  I saw his design work and was impressed.  He has an address listed on this website and I looked it up and it turns out to be this coffee shop near me.  I chalked it up that he must work out of that coffee shop a lot.A few months later, I just realized the guy OWNS that coffee shop :)  And another one too in chicago.  He also owns a vintage clothing store across the street from me, and sounds like he's building bar.Looks like he's constantly still designing web applications and manages to run all these other non techy successful projects (his 2 coffee houses are pretty busy and get very positive reviews).
