Was asked by Fast Company what I learned in 2013.
I learned how lucky I am to work with such an amazing team.

GOOD.is has a great idea with this competition!!

Really appreciated Mit Capps’ article on POPVOX in VentureNashville.
I am such an admirer of Steve Case and such a believer in the “Rise of the Rest” vision he describes for entrepreneurial growth across the country.
