Careerography (part 6) Final for now…
In addition to working on Call True for the last few months, I have had a few projects pop up here and there. I was briefly working on a business plan for a mobile real estate search service, a domain real estate company, an automotive leads business, a mortgage leads arbitrage business, a face to […]
Careerography (part 5)
While I was at home, I may not have had the energy or excitement to work on Call True, in fact at that point it drained me of energy, I did work on a little side project. While in Cincy, I read an article in Business 2.0 about what I would later call adwords arbitrage.
Careerography (part 4)
I didn’t. True to my ways, while working on Engenius, I had a multitude of other business projects cooking. While working on Engenius, I did an incredible amount of research on the automotive industry, including how dealerships worked. I called many dealerships, looked at thousands of dealership websites, and saw just how little dealerships cared […]
Careerography (part 3)
Right at that time I was just finishing up college and already had another business idea cooking…Engenius Motors. Engenius was based on a simple concept, in a nightmarish industry. Basically I (and my friend/partner Mark) saw a tremendous opportunity in the trade in cars market.
Careerography (part 2)
The following summer, I went to study abroad in Italy…wow, best summer of my life. It really opened my eyes to just how big this world is, how many people are in it, and how much there really is to see and explore. I could really spend months talking about this, but that’s not the […]
Careerography (part 1)
Disclaimer: this is an attempt for me to understand my “career” path, and by no means represents a bio…I of course left some very important stuff and people out. I also left out a few jobs I had throughout high school, but I guess I didn’t feel as if I needed to include them. If […]
words of encouragement from the past…
I spent this past weekend in Cincy at my mom (and tom)’s home. I love going there because I really do feel closer to her, as I’m surrounded by some of her things, and many memories of time spent there with her. This weekend I stumbled upon a baby book on my bookshelf, where she […]
Why Not?
So I’m fresh back from a nice long weekend in San Juan, Puerto Rico and man do I feel good. When I travel, especially to see the ocean, I always fill up with energy, excitement, and fresh perspectives all around. I really enjoyed San Juan, as it really reaffirmed my goal to live in a […]
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, […]
The reality of choice
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about choices. I think that there are a lot of things in my life, that I just assume I must do or accept. I’ve also heard a lot of people say “I wish I could BUT,” or “I can’t.” It’s an incredibly frustrating feeling to seemingly be out of […]
