As I launch my next business, I’m going to write and send out this periodic blog to document my progress and thinking and solicit feedback and advice. Check out The Big Idea to understand my plan to create a gap year between middle and high school. If you have any recommendations or referrals, please shoot me a note and let me know your reactions. My goal is to create a more “open-source” business start-up process so that the best ideas can pour into this. Feel free to forward to anyone who you think may be interested. Of course, I don’t want to bother anyone so please unsubscribe if you find my blog irrelevant or bothersome.
