Jennifer Dewalt
Can building 180 websites change the course of your life?
If you’ve ever attempted to build anything on the internet, perhaps you’ve heard of Jennifer Dewalt.
She’s one of my heroes, and it’s not because she’s a tech entrepreneur.
But rather, I love her model for learning by doing.
Her own account of creating 180 Websites in 180 Days and the aftermath is a great read. And especially so, if you like what I’m doing here at The Push.
I’ll give a brief summary:
Jennifer quit everything and focused on coding.
She stumbled upon the number of 180 websites out of thin air.
After she shipped her sites, she decided to tackle a bigger project.
Ultimately, it led her to some pretty cool places (I won’t spoil the ending).

Jennifer’s Impact on Me
Part of me believes this framework stuck somewhere in my bones. And while I’ve been working on The Push, I noticed that this article was hanging around in my bookmark bar.
In rereading it, it reminded me of things I’ve accomplished.
It likely helped me condense 3 years of wine learning into 6 weeks.
And it’s likely the reason I stumbled upon the idea to do 100 Peloton Rides in 90 days.
It’s definitely part of the reason I’m here.
So, in short…thank you, Jennifer.
