Phil Smy is a serial entrepreneur, software developer, and author of the From Monkey to Mogul series — a practical, no-nonsense MBA for Entrepreneurs (without the boring lectures). With over 20 years of entrepreneurial ups, downs, and "I can't believe that worked" moments, Phil has done everything from building one of the most popular Amazon SaaS tools (Zonmaster) to appearing on Shark Tank — and living to tell the tale. A recognized speaker in the Ruby on Rails community, he bridges the gap between code and commerce with a healthy dose of humor and hard-won wisdom. Phil holds an Executive MBA, an MFA in Film, and — just to keep things interesting — spent years as a professional musician touring internationally from the age of 17. These days, he writes from his home on the edge of a small farming town in Northeastern Japan, where he splits his time between writing, creating startups, and wondering if his vegetables will grow.
