Never Doing SXSW Again…
…By Bus or in a Group!!
I returned home from Austin at 9pm Tuesday night, after a 12 hour bus ride that required I take six Dramamine pills to keep from getting sick. The majority of the trip I was kicking myself for signing up to go to SXSW Interactive with a group.
SXSWi is a [...]
The New Job in the Big Easy
Until I can close a seed round I have to maintain a day job. I thought when I left my last billet (job) that it would finally be it, but I came to realize a few things which required me to look into a steady paycheck option again.
When I started looking for another opportunity in [...]

Going to a Conference? A Lesson in Preparedness
It was my first time to BlogWorld Expo. I didn’t fully know what to expect, but as an entrepreneur I don’t have time or the money to attend a conference for the sake of “just checking it out”. I have to maximize everything I do. I didn’t necessarily do that at this conference, but I [...]
What was I Doing at BlogWorld Expo??
I believe I signed up for BlogWorld Expo back in early July; at the time, I had my set of reasons for wanting to attend…as a matter of fact, I registered with Yut Media, Inc. and not WhyGoSolo. I had anticipated that by the time I attended Blog World I would be heavily involved on [...]
Kudos to American Airline: My Airline of Choice

The drinks were actually free [...]
Opening up the Conversational Playing Field
I have made the executive decision of renaming this blog to make it MY blog. Seems fitting to do so since my name is the domain name!!
I started this blog with the intent of better establishing my credibility as an entrepreneur – my branding. However, in the process of doing so, I lost my voice [...]
Lunch with Jeffrey Lyons the CEO of Ideabreaker
I escaped my duties today to have lunch with Jeffrey Lyons the CEO of Ideabreaker. I met Jeff through VenCorps and we decided that it would be good to connect since I was coming to New Orleans, where he happens to live. I wanted to hear more about his startup and he wanted talk about [...]
Fear of the Known!??!
I started my first business about three years ago upon getting out of the Marine Corps after ten years of service. At the time, people said to me “You’re very brave and courageous to start your own business” – I thought it was an odd thing to say. I was excited about the potential and [...]
The French Man says “PR Secrets?? It’s Bullshit”
I gotta say I completely agree with Loic! I have disagreed with Loic in the past on his post: The idea does not count only execution matters: 10 rules to launch a startup today because I think Loic was overlooking all the work he had done (over many years) in order to be able to [...]
