Reading Time: 10 minutesHave you ever had the feeling that you didn’t accomplish much in a certain amount of time, but you look back later and realize that you actually accomplished a huge number of things? That’s how the last couple of months have been for me. At the time, it didn’t feel like I was getting much … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 11 minutesThe end of 2021 seemed to just blend into the beginning of 2022. In past years – especially 2020 going into 2021 – there was a bit of a break between the activity at the end of the year and when things picked up toward the end of January. This time around, due to a … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 8 minutesThe engine of progress restarted in 2021, and I have a bunch of momentum rolling into 2022! All of my favorite events from 2019 and before have relaunched in person, and the calendar looks to be returning to its normal arrangement – no cramming a year’s worth of stuff into the second half of the … [Read more…]

However, I didn’t know that there were going to be so many different stops over so many weeks next month until I put together the itinerary just the other day. Actually, things stretch into the first part of November, so … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 11 minutesIt was only a few months ago when I was contemplating what to do with this blog due to the lack of travel brought on by Coronaworld. I had mentioned then that it was difficult to come up with content for an entrepreneurial ecosystem journey blog when the journey is stopped. Little did I know … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 8 minutesI don’t know about you, but I really didn’t expect for things to start bouncing back toward normal as quickly as they did. Had you asked me a few months ago, I would have said that most events wouldn’t come back in 2021 and would probably be back after cold and flu season in the … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 5 minutesIt’s been quite the couple of months of entrepreneurial ecosystem building through online events. One big event down, another now on the horizon, and a great celebration of what we’ve accomplished at 1 Million Cups Iowa City over the past three years. Since the beginning of the year, and specifically in the last few weeks, … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 5 minutesIt’s certainly been a while since my last non-review post. Not traveling for months on end makes it difficult to generate content for a blog documenting travels through the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
