The EG podcast provides an inside look at running a remote consulting business from the perspective of two guys lucky enough to work with the best people we know. We talk about leaving our full-time jobs, the road we took to get here, and the roles we play in the companies we helped form. We discuss what it's like to have a workforce scattered all over the U.S. (and London). We cover the challenges we face, lessons we have learned along the way, and why we like talking about our jobs so much.
Our hope is that these experiences will be of interest to others who are looking to venture out on the

Episode 11: Please Call Me ASAP
In this episode, Eric and Derrick do their best to offend almost everyone with their take on business communication processes and procedures. Voicemails? Unhelpful emails? Small talk chats on business calls? There are a few rants, a few laughs, and hopefully laced throughout - there are some helpful tips for making the most of your day-to-day business interactions.
Customer Reviews
Visceral
The astonishing thing about “Derrick and Nancy" is the amount of subtle information it gives us about their relationship, given the fact that the surface of the podcast is all tumult and violence, pain and confusion. This podcast doesn't take the easy way out and cast these two warriors as Romeo and Juliet, misunderstood waifs. It sees beneath their leather and chains, their torn T-shirts and steel-toed boots, to a basically conventional relationship between a genius woman and a man who is “The Man.”
I’m loving this already!
Derrick and Eric bring a wealth of knowledge to the game of litigation technology and graphics. As an “Electronic Gentleman” myself, the topics they cover really hit home with my humble beginnings as a business owner.
Riveting!
“The Electronic Gentleman, Episode 2: Let the Countdown Begin” is that rarity - a sequel with most of the same qualities as the original. In a year of anemic retreads like "Friday the 13th," "Bad Dads" and "The Nut Job 2,” I began listening with a certain dread. But this is a podcast with the same off-center invention and wild energy as the original.
