Reading Time: 7 minutesWell, I meant to write a blog post before December 1, but things haven’t slowed down the way I planned over the last few weeks. It has been nice not traveling as much as I have the last few months, but I didn’t anticipate the waves of head colds and other respiratory viruses that have … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 9 minutesI left off in my last post arriving back in Mount Pleasant around 2 pm on Friday, just a few hours before the start of Startup Weekend Fairfield. My truck had been sitting there at the Amtrak station for a week, and it was toasty inside when I opened the back window to put away … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 13 minutes(TL;DR: The trip to Denver was well worth it… time well spent and many lessons learned.) What an amazing trip to Denver! If you’ve been following my Twitter feed, you probably had a vague idea of what I was up to, but I want to spend this blog post delving further into what I learned … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 5 minutesThis is it… the big trip west to Denver Startup Week! I’ve been looking forward to this trip for quite a while – I know I’ve talked about it enough. I make the trip to Denver each year to visit friends and to connect with the startup community, and to enjoy a few beverages not … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 5 minutesThere was a bit of a chill in the air this morning when I was driving my older daughter to Kindergarten – “big kid school.” She started back to school last week.

Reading Time: 6 minutesNow that we’ve entered August, it’s just starting to dawn on me how few days of summer we have left. In just a couple of weeks, my older daughter starts “big kid school.” Dance class picks up again in a month for both girls, the fifth year for the older kid and the first year … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 9 minutesWe’ve hit the midpoint of the summer, and it’s arrived much faster than I thought it would. Only a few weeks left before my older daughter starts kindergarten and resumes dance class, and my younger daughter starts her first dance class. I’ve finished my entrepreneurial conference travels for the season, and I’m finally home enough … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 7 minutesI thought I’d come up for air momentarily before I head to the Inside Outside Innovation Summit in Nebraska next week. It’s been a crazy past few weeks since I last updated this thing. I have put in a lot of hours working on freelance projects and on Sexy Life, and I’ve put a fair … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 10 minutesTo say the last few days have been incredibly productive would be an understatement, even though I haven’t spent much time in the office at all. EntreFest was the end of the pitch marathon of the last month. Flyover Fashion Fest was a fun, mind-opening experience. In addition, Team Cider Finder received an e-mail that might end … [Read more…]

Reading Time: 10 minutesI never knew how exhausting giving 3 different versions of a pitch in 4 days would be. What should be cut from the longer version to give a full picture of the company in a shorter version? What do you have to keep in the 90 second elevator pitch? What do you do when you … [Read more…]
