People on the Bus
In listening to another entrepreneurial podcast yesterday, (I love venture voice, which to me represents the future of media..extremely targeted niche shows, but that’s for another post) I heard yet another tale of the importance of building a good team. David O. Sacks was a founding member of Paypal, the world’s largest online payment service, […]
More than breathing….
I listened to a few podcasts that had interviews with entrepreneurs today, and one thing that one of the guys said really stuck out in my mind. When asked what he thought about building a company for profits, he said
Pour your heart into it
Ok, I”ll admit that I stole that title from the incredible book written by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, but the truth is that is the perfect way to describe how I’m feeling now.

Anyway last night’s story covered a man who was a college drop […]
