Weekly insights from an Entreprenuer: To spend one year as a tiger is better than to live forever as sheep
Free stuff sells. I was just at Denny’s free grand slam breakfast today and even though I’m not a big fan of standing in lines for giant breakfast with over the top calories – I went. How can you say no to free? (The wait time was actually much shorter than I expected and they [...]

Sorry for posting here so late, I’ve been swamped with awesome feedback, encouragements, fixes, meeting requests, etc ever since launch.
