</picture>](http://5by5.tv/systematic/102 "Systematic Episode 102 - Brian Alvey")I met Brian Alvey at WWDC this year and had a great chat with him over drinks. Given that he built the CMS platform that I spent a few years working on over at AOL, it was surprising we’d never crossed paths before.
Brian is a “serial entreprenuer,” though he dislikes the phrasing of that title. He’s a witty guy with a laid back demeanor but a high-energy approach to life, productivity, and startups. He knows a thing or two about startups, too.
