The JOBS Act passed and that is a good thing for America. I think the 26 that voted against it —- all Democrats — will regret not being a part of this “W”. Read about it here and then go out create wealth .. for yourself and the communities where you live.

Now…What Are You Going To Do?

Getting the right people in the room at the right time to nail a design. Not settling for almost lean product or customer development. Unequivocally embracing a culture of openness, honesty, and high-performance. [...]

I am using (and highly recommend) a great tool for performing usability testing — UsabilityHub.com. It enables three (3) types of usability tests:                   Sign up is free and you can even earn test karma by performing test for others. We’re using it extensively at Cospace, GroupCharger, [...]

Take a stand or take a seat

Like thousands of sites around the country and world, my blog and my coworking company website (Cospace) are going dark here in about 2 hours. It’s a very small gesture to a very large problem — government interference with free enterprise. Stand up for free enterprise by watching this short video, get informed and express [...]

If you don’t think things are changing – FAST! – in education take a look at TeamTreehouse, Skillshare, OpenStudy, and a host of other social-infused education startups. We have a couple brewing ourselves at Cospace that you’ll see more of 2012. It makes you wonder what higher education is thinking (or not rethinking) right now: “Many [...]

What is an Entrepreneur?

By james On January 5, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Building Stuff, Education, Entrepreneurship, Life, People
This is such a powerful story from Cameron Herold, a lifelong entrepreneur from a family of entrepreneurs. Regardless of what you do for a living (and we’re all different from head to toe),  stop trying to fit your round self into that square peg. Figure out what motivates you, what you’re made of, what you [...]

…especially in economic development. I find the current debate between Peter Thiel (We’re in a higher-ed bubble) and the “elites in education” and their supporters (Oh no we’re not!) fascinating, revealing and highly entertaining (the satirist in me is loving every last word). Per usual, when you are in an argument framed by strong opinions on [...]
