Virtual Hot Air

As previously mentioned, a few weeks ago had a lot of fun talking to the Silicon Valley AMA. Great group, great discussion.

Seattle = Digital Media Hollywood?

seattleholly

Not that I actually know anything about the topic (of course that has never stopped me from spouting opinions before), but a month or so ago I joined a very cool panel to discuss this issue.

I love Seattle and I am not sure I love Hollywood (or at least not everything about it). So if you want to hear what I and a group of much more informed folks think about the Seattle technology, media and start-up environment and future, click here (warning it's a bit long).

The other panelists were...

Moderator: Kristina Erickson, Program Manager for Film & Interactive Media, Washington State Film Office
Rick Hennessey, Chief Executive Officer, Dwango Wireless
Tom McGurk, Co-Owner, Bad Animals Studios
Jake McMahon, Vice President, Gas Powered Games
Samantha Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, Monolith
Chris Satchell, General Manager, Game Developer Group, Microsoft Corporation

The Washington Software Alliance (WSA) is a great group and does a great job at these panels and topics. They are the oldest and largest state-wide technology trade association. Check out their other events.

Thanks also to Alix Erickson for setting up the audio files (and congrats on your promotion)

Simplicity with Action

While recently on the topic of cool jobs, just finished having a fun little chat with Dave Cotter, CEO of MPire who is looking to hire the VP of Marketing of the American Dream described below.
We chatted about eBay, Venture Capital, entreprenuership, hiring and more.

We thought it would be fun to capture it as a podcast.

His whole company is focused on helping small businesses get started, so my favorite quote is his advice - based on his recent experience - to new companies:

"Keep it simple. Simplicity with action will take you far".

Hear, hear!
